CHANGING BADGES ... LUNN POLY TO THOMSON

The name has changed but the helpful, friendly and efficient travel staff at Sheffield's Crystal Peaks Shopping Centre's Thomson are just the same - that's the message from Kirsty Lindley formerly of Lunn Poly and now the new Thomson's Store Manager.

The famous “smile” logo has already connected Lunn Poly, Britannia and Thomson businesses for the last three years. Management felt the time right to bring them all under one roof. Image

"It was an amazing transformation, everything was completed for the start of the New Year. " The xx year old explained, "And it was a huge undertaking. More than 780 Lunn Poly holiday shops throughout the UK had to be re-branded as Thomson. Simply because Thomson is one of the most powerful brands in the travel industry. It’s high quality holidays have been renown since 1965. The move is intended to create a single “power brand” across all our high street travel agents, websites and holiday brochures. We have also re-named the holiday airline Britannia as Thomsonfly. We want the local community to have a clear understanding that here at Crystal Peaks, Thomson can cater for all your travel needs whether it is a one way flight to Malaga, two nights at a city centre hotel in Paris, a villa in Italy or a five star tailor made trip to Australia."

Kirsty added, "Although more people are choosing to book flights and holidays directly through websites and call centres, person to person is still the most popular way to book a holiday. People still want a human face so they can have a chat with a specialist when it comes to booking. Of course, the name has changed but the level of service, care and attention to detail will always stay the same - just like the company’s philosophy 'to provide customers with the best possible holiday for their money'.
