Following the retirement of Andrea and Antony Powell, Fred. Olsen Travel has acquired Idelo Travel, down the road from the existing Ipswich branch.
Fred. Olsen Travel Agents' head of commercial, Paul Hardwick, explained: "I’m so pleased that we were able to step in to acquire Idelo Travel and take on their staff, both of whom are experienced and intrinsically linked to existing Idelo Travel bookings.
"As a Fred. Olsen Travel Agency, Idelo Travel is now part of an independent family-owned company with a high rate of repeat customers and a reputation for providing excellent service and great value for money. Not only do our staff have the knowledge and ability to tailor-make a dream holiday, but Fred. Olsen Travel also has the industry bonding and accreditation to ensure financial security and peace of mind for our customers.
"Now more than ever, people really do trust and value the service and protection that a specialist travel agent provides."
Both Idelo staff members and bookings have been protected.
