Thursday, 26 April 20123 min read

The Travelzest Group has sold opera specialist JMB Travel back to its former owners Jonathan Blizard and his long-term business partner David Kiernan.

Blizard previously sold JMB to TravelZest in 2007.

Following the re-acquisition, Blizard said: "I am delighted to purchase back a company which remains close to my heart.

"I look forward again to offering my clients the personal service they received for many years. I am also delighted to announce as part of my return that I will be leading some escorted tours – including the Wexford Opera Festival Tour, which has always been important to me since I founded the company 26 years ago. "

JMB Travel will launch a summer festival brochure shortly followed by the 2012/13 Opera Season brochure in June. It is also working on a new website with an on-line reservation facility.
