Collapsed Quartz Travel breached contract

The Freedom Travel Group has alleged that it discovered “significant breaches of contract” by Quartz Travel before it ceased trading last week.

Notices appeared on the shop doors of Quartz Travel in York’s Heworth Road and Quartz Travel Lite in Blossom Street (formerly Amigo Travel) advising that the premises were closed, before insolvency specialist Begbies Traynor confirmed Quartz’s owner, Paul Smith, had instructed it to help with the appointment of administrators.

Once appointed, the administrators will explore the potential sale of the business and assets.

Quartz, which closed on Wednesday August 31, was founded by entrepreneur Smith in 2004 and employed 13 staff.
