The Association of British Travel Agents reports that coach specialist Supreme Travel Ltd (ABTA no. 57511/V4373), of 303 London Road, Hadleigh, Benfleet, Essex, which went into administration on 29 July has ceased trading today.

It is likely that customers who have booked holidays with third party tour operators through the travel agent arm of Supreme Travel will be able to continue their holidays, while forward bookings made with the coach operator will need to apply to ABTA for refunds.

All claims arising from this failure will be handled by the ABTA Claims Department and consumers can call telephone number 020 7307 2041 for assistance.
