The new store replaces the 912 sq. ft unit which was previously occupied by Thomas Cook, a special ribbon cutting ceremony was held with the store team and the Mayor of Selby to mark the official opening of the new store.

The new store is equipped with branded experience areas and state of the art technology to help customers select their perfect break.

The company specialises in all types of holidays from cruises to city breaks and from beach escapes to far-flung adventures.

The Selby branch team has also announced a partnership with St. Leonard’s Hospice in Selby and are planning various fundraising and volunteering activities throughout the year.

Barrhead Travel which was founded in 1975 has grown from a single high street shop to a travel giant. The travel company has over 1000 people across its network with a portfolio of over 90 stores.
