Some of the near 1,200 members of Thomas Cook staff in Peterborough have left the travel giant’s head office in Lynch Wood for the final time after a last meeting this morning following the company’s collapse.
The firm announced early on Monday that it had ceased trading after failing to secure a last-ditch rescue deal, leaving an estimated 150,000 Britons abroad awaiting repatriation. Others have been left waiting for flights.
