Brexit Fears Push Sterling Values Down

I've already booked two big group trips for 2017 at this year's price.

Andy, I have always said you were a big booker!!!!

Really? I know a number of 'really high performing individuals' they have taken on since the change in CEO. Do you have any evidence of the quality of their holidays going down?

Of course, Iain. And you can find the same info, if yoo look at the start/finish dates of Harriet Green's employment, then check the Share price a few months before, (when I said that management change was evident from the accounts), and then after she left, the correlation is evident.
It wasn't just the accounts that looked awry to me, it was also their strategy. They were essentially a ski operator. So why did they end up offering a range of unrelated things, including summer holidays to Russia?
I hasten to add that Ido not spend my warm seasons reading company accounts!!!!!

I think this is where the confusion has come. Inghams are not owned by Thomas Cook. Neilson were, but had a management buyout back from the company. So when you said change of CEO, I thought you were referring to Peter Dyer coming back in...
