Walker Thompson advise shareholders in sale of major local travel agency

Walker Thompson is pleased to have been involved recently in the sale of Carrick Travel Ltd to its Directors, Tina Nason and Tracey Carter, as part of a Management Buy Out.

Award winning travel agency Carrick Travel has been trading for over 35 years and has numerous offices throughout Warwickshire, the Cotswolds and the M40 corridor.

The company operates eight Travel Agencies, a Corporate Travel Division and an Australasia Division.  It has retail outlets in Leamington Spa, Cheylesmore in Coventry, Kenilworth, Stratford-upon-Avon, Bourton-on-the-Water, Chipping Norton, Evesham and Pershore.

Sherod Williams, a Director at Walker Thompson, represented the Carrick family in relation to the sale and worked alongside Lodders Solicitors of Stratford-upon-Avon who dealt with the Sale and Purchase documentation.

Sally Carrick will continue her work locally as a Director of Shakespeare Country, an organisation promoting tourism in the Stratford and South Warwickshire area.

Sherod said, "In the current environment people still want a quality service which cannot be delivered through the internet or larger travel agencies.  Anyone seeking the personal involvement of a travel advisor with specialist knowledge should give Carrick Travel a call.".
