Alan Godfrey launched New Era Travel, a Fred Olsen Travel licensee, in Alresford in 2022 and went on to open a second shop in Wickham two years ago. However, he died aged 56 in February and now, nine months later, his agency business has shut.
Paul Hardwick, Fred Olsen Travel’s director of retail, said: “We were deeply saddened to see New Era Travel close their two branches and business. As licence holder of the Abta number New Era used, all monies were paid through Fred Olsen Travel as per our licensee agreements."
