Travelzest receives possible takeover bid

Monday, 18 August 20083 min read

Travelzest, the travel group founded by former Thomson boss Chris Mottershead, has received a potential takeover bid.

The company said it was in the “early stages” of discussions over a potential cash offer for the business.

The price is at 115 pence per ordinary share.

TUI Travel is being touted as a possible suitor for Travelzest.

“There is no certainty that the talks will result in an offer being made for the company,” a statement to the Stock Exchange said.

Travelzest runs brands such as Best of Morocco, VFB Holidays and Tapestry Collection, and floated on the AIM in 2005.
