Miniple agency goes bust
An agency group with 13 offices nationwide selling cheap holidays has folded.

The company was a member of Midconsort, according to its website, and also traded as World Travel Store, P.A Sport and Leisure Travel, Cloud 9 Travel, Independent Holiday Choices and Sun Inn Travel. It held an ATOL license.
The firm had branch offices in Lydney, Bridgend, Rainham, Windermere, Northampton, Great Yarmouth, Melton Road and Evington Street, Leicester; Feilden Street and Queens Road, Blackburn; Glasgow, Thetford and Bournemouth.
