Travelzest responds to Mottershead speculation

They both fomerly worked for MyTravel/Airtours in Canada. Â
A statement from Travelzest said it had “noted recent press speculation†concerning the departure of the duo.
“The company confirms that it has not received letters of resignation from Mr Mottershead or Mr McKinlay, however, the company has entered into discussions with Mr Mottershead and Mr McKinlay about their employment terms.
