The PT reported earlier today that a number of Peterborough companies have been coming forward with job opportunities for staff at Thomas Cook who have lost their employment as a result of the firm going bust, including BGL Group, Whirlpool and Embe Soul Food Restaurant.

Now, several more have come forward.
