Former Thomas Cook girls to help holidaymakers reclaim lost cash from doomed company

Big hearted staff dumped out of a job by Thomas Cook are to help holidaymakers reclaim their lost cash.

Workers at the doomed travel company's Ayr branch will lay on a free session to support their old customers.

Posting an appeal on Facebook, Louise Paton, who managed the town's branch, said:  "It’s now nearly two weeks on since we received the devastating news of the demise of our company and we are all still feeling the pain both for ourselves and our customers.

"We were unfortunately never given the opportunity by Thomas Cook to open our store to help anyone who has lost their holidays.

"This is something that each and every one of us wanted to do.

"As you are probably well aware, on Monday October 7, customers will be able to start the process through the CAA to make their claims.

"We are aware this could be a daunting and confusing process for some, so as a thank you for all your support over the years, myself, Kay , Nicola and Holly would like to volunteer our help.

"Our customers are still really important to us and with an extremely kind offer of a venue, along with teas and coffees from Kerry Callan Kirkland and Charlie Bell at Boswells Bar & Restaurant we can do that.

"So the ‘ex’ Thomas Cook girls will be at Boswells Bar & Restaurant , 4 Boswell Park Ayr KA7 1NP on Tuesday, October 8, from 1pm - 5pm.

"We would love to see you. If you need help with claims, advice regarding any third party bookings or just want to come along and say ‘hello’ we would be truly honoured & do our best to try and help.

"We won’t be in our uniform, but I’m sure you will all recognise us.

"The “ex “ Thomas Cook Girls."
