Anglia Co-operative has been quick to act to stem speculation surrounding its 15 branches.
Paul Dale, group specialist retail manager with the Peterborough-based retail co-operative, said: "The announcement of potential closures and job losses with Thomas Cook Group travel branches does not affect in any way those trading as Co-operative Travel and owned by Anglia Co-operative.
"Wednesday's news was very unfortunate, but we want to assure all of our customers that it's business as usual for us and their holidays are in safe hands."

“I was expecting the Scunthorpe branch to close because of the disgusting High Street and Ashby to remain open.
It's a real tribute to the staff in both stores that their head office see them as viable. Well done everyone!”
