Based at 22 La Colomberie, Travel by Design will be led by Duncan Ashley and Julie Law, who worked for Travelmaker until it closed its doors in January.
The Co-op cited losses caused by the covid-19 pandemic as it shut its Don Street and St. Peter Travelmaker stores, which employed eight people, and one in Guernsey with four staff.
The Co-op said it supported the opening of the new firm, which is linked with Midcounties Co-operative Travel as a consortia member but will trade under its own name.
Ms Law and Mr Ashley hope that Travel by Design will offer continuity for previous Travelmaker customers.
“Duncan and I are really looking forward to running our own business,” Ms Law commented. “Our belief is that it is important to maintain a presence on the High Street where customers can be welcomed through the doors and chat through their holiday aspirations face to face.
“We will remain a point of contact for Travelmaker customers who have been booking with us for many years. Through our membership with Co-operative Travel and along with the strong links we have built with travel providers and tour operators, we are relishing the next chapter.”
