‘Difficult trading’ blamed for Blubookonline failure
Accommodation firm Bluebookonline has collapsed, blaming “difficult trading conditions”.
The company, part of Worldwide Tailor Made Holidays based in Tonbridge in Kent, ceased trading yesterday afternoon (Tuesday).
A message on the company website said: “We regret to advise that, due to difficult trading conditions, the company ceased trading at 4.00pm on Tuesday October 7th 2008.
“Agents who have prepaid for arrangements yet to commence should contact the trustee of the trust account: Mr P. R. M. Reader FFA, Marryat Reader & Co, 62a King Harold’s Way, Bexleyheath, Kent DA7 5QZ.â€
The failure came the week that major consolidation and takeovers in the accommodation-only sector was predicted.
The company, founded by managing director Philip Read, had recently become a preferred supplier to Advantage Travel Centres.
It also had international call centres in Ireland and Cairo and promoted discounted accommodation, transfers and sightseeing trips.
Other brands included USA Tailor Made Holidays and similar brands offering holidays to Canada, the Caribbean and Australia.Â
