Firefly Holidays, a UK travel company based in Abingdon, has entered voluntary liquidation, with liquidators appointed on August 4. The firm, incorporated in 2015, organised holidays to France, Spain and Italy.
Award-winning history
The company was named the Sunday Times Best 100 Holidays in its first full season and received two British Travel Award nominations. However, due to reported financial issues, the business has now closed.
A statement on the company's website reads: "It's been our absolute honour to help our customers experience amazing holidays and award-winning adventures. Now the Firefly team are taking our own road-trip towards new destinations."
The statement continued: "Although Firefly Holidays is no longer taking bookings, we're happy to help valued customers and new contacts with any travel questions and advice."
Liquidator appointed
Stephen Mark Powell of BTG Begbies Traynor was appointed liquidator.
The news of the company's collapse comes amid a difficult time for the travel industry as several other businesses have also folded this year. Most recently, Ski Yodl Ltd, founded in March 2018, entered liquidation on July 22. The firm offered ski holiday packages to destinations including the French Alps for over 8 years.
