Customers who have outstanding bookings with Bowens Travel could have their tours run by another operator, administrators for the struggling firm have said.
Bowens, which is also made up of York’s Coaches, went into administration last week, with almost 400 jobs immediately lost.
Around 80 jobs have gone in Northampton, where Bowens has a main office in Sheep Street, with dozens more jobs going across the country.
The news came as shops in the Market Square and Weston Favell Shopping Centre, in Northampton, were closed.
Matt Cowlishaw, joint administrator and partner in Deloitte’s restructuring services team, today said they were workig to ensure customers are protected.
said: “The joint administrators are seeking to find another party to fulfil booked tours. Customers will be notified of the new operator fulfilling tours, including those that are scheduled to depart within the next two weeks.
“The joint administrators are working with Bonded Coach Holidays and Confederation of Passenger Transport UK to ensure that customer monies are protected.”
