MAGIC Travel Group is closing its London office and
relocating to Kingston in a fresh upheaval within Thomson’s specialist holidays
division.
The move, to be completed by the end of the year, will be
followed by further changes next April when Richmond based Thomson Breakaway
becomes part of the division and also relocates to Thomson’s Kingston
headquarters.
Magic has already endured a turbulent year with the
departure of key directors and the axing of its France and cities programmes.
Magic’s 170 staff, currently based in Hammersmith, were said
to be shocked at the plans.
