Thomas Cook was Britains biggest and best known holiday company and had been trading for 178 years when it went bust in September this year.

At least 21,000 workers lost their jobs and hundreds of thousands of passengers were left stranded at airports.

The bankruptcy also spelled disaster for hotels in Majorca as hundreds of reservations for Thomas Cook customers disintegrated and many hotels were forced to close their doors earlier this year specifically because of the travel company’s demise.
