Funway announced today it would be ceasing trading on 30 September due to the “severe” impact of the coronavirus crisis.
Former managing director Melissa Tilling, who joined the operator as a director in 2008 and was promoted to managing director in 2017 - before standing down last August - said: “I am incredibly sad for the Funway Holidays people.
“From first hand experience I know how passionate, tenacious, committed and professional this group has been through the good times and the bad.
“Yet again Covid-19 has proven that shareholders have had to make some impossibly difficult decisions in unprecedented times and to end a brand that has enjoyed such incredible travel trade loyalty and success over 27 years must have been an extremely hard one to make.”
She added: “I urge any travel employer, with my personal recommendation, to find roles for this team who excel at every level.”
