ABTA and Worldchoice member Usher Travel Service in Wallasey, Merseyside has ceased trading.
In a post on the Usher Travel Facebook page, the company said: “After trading as an independent travel agent on Wirral for nearly 64 years, Usher Travel Service Ltd has ceased trading.”
The post described the decision as ‘heartbreaking’, adding: “The loyal clients, many of whom have become friends and helped create the relaxing and fun atmosphere in the office will be something the team will miss in our day to day lives.”
It went on: “COVID took much away from us and whilst we came through the other side, three years of heavy travel restrictions and in many cases, a loss of client confidence in travel, left a financial burden that was becoming more and more difficult to manage.
“Any clients with forthcoming travel, you will be contacted very shortly for ticket arrangements.
“Moving forward with bookings further ahead, you will be contacted directly regarding the procedure of moving your booking from our agency to the Tour Operator.
“We’re sorry for any inconvenience caused, but rest assured that we will be assisting ABTA and Worldchoice in the smooth transition of booking ownership.”
The company is run by Director Gavin Morton.
ABTA said: “We are sorry to inform you that Usher Travel Service Ltd trading as Usher Travel Worldchoice ceased trading on 16 October 2025 and we are now treating this company as a financial failure.”
