Family run agency Premier Travel has opened a new branch in Letchworth, Hertfordshire.

The branch, located in the Garden Square Shopping Centre, was previously a Thomas Cook agency and will open in early July.

This expansion brings the total number of shops operated by the East Anglia-based travel agency to 26.

The Letchworth branch will be managed by Lucy Clarke, who has been with Premier Travel for eight years.

Managing Director Paul Waters said: “As one of the main regions for the company and with existing branches within a 10 to 20-mile radius, we look forward to becoming an active member of the local community and contributing to its growth with this new branch.”
