Staff made redundant from the closure of Apollo Travel Direct in Rotherham are being invited to apply for jobs with alpharooms.com.

Alpharooms, a Sheffield-based discount travel website, said it is undertaking a recruitment drive and would welcome contact from experienced travel professionals who are about to enter the job market.
It is actively looking to recruit for its sales, accounts, product, commercial and customer service departments to meet its continued expansion plans for 2009.
Managing director Jason Fry said: “Apollo Travel was a great business and it’s such a shame to see a group of highly talented people being made redundant.
“We’re encouraging those passionate about their jobs and who want to remain in the travel industry to get in touch as we have positions available in all departments.
