A travel firm has taken a big step forward by setting up at a 'Tardis-like' former Nottinghamshire bank. Tour operator Blue Stamp Travel, which provides transport for school groups and individual language learners, is currently based in the Business HQ office complex in Carrington.
But the business, which was set up in 2018 and took over two divisions of Colwick-based Halsbury Travel, is now setting up its new, much larger office at the former Midland Bank on Nottingham Road in Daybrook. The company's managing director Steve Manderson hailed the acquisition of the building, which had been bought from American owners who had previously rented it to a security company, as an important step forward for the Nottingham firm - which said it had benefited from a significant increase in student travel when compared to before the pandemic.
"It's a big step, absolutely. When we took the work experience and language courses departments over, they were facing challenges because of the decline in the uptake of languages across the country," Mr Manderson said.
