Beverley Travel co-owner Karl Douglas told TTG the town of Driffield wasn't on the agency's radar before the Travel Network Group member closed its doors in August citing losses "that were incredibly difficult to recover" from.
However, Douglas confirmed he and fellow co-director Kelly Cheesman were now actively seeking the right premises in Driffield, which is about 15 miles north of Beverley, after hiring Natalie Cood and Royston Potter.
A few days after the Ashley Adams news broke, Douglas contacted Codd to arrange an interview. The pair had previously met on a Wendy Wu Tours fam trip to Jordan last year.
