HULL-BASED Good Travel Management has bought west Midlands agency Mercian Travel Centre for an undisclosed fee. The deal went through after Mercian's 75-year-old founder, John Dowling, decided to call time on his career in the business travel industry.
Mercian specialises in high-end leisure travel, tour operations, corporate travel and trade missions, with a particular expertise in Libya and the Middle East. The business will continue to trade as Mercian Travel, and all staff are being retained.
