Four successful students enjoyed a congratulatory reunion at Carshalton College when they returned to visit its Thomas Cook Travel Centre.

Mandy Gore, Jennifer Harris, Amanda Ryan and Kerry Fry are just four of the students to benefit from the training opportunities presented by the ground breaking link up.

They were greeted by College Principal, David Watkins and Thomas Cook Regional Manager, Marion Marshall on their arrival.

The principal said: "This unique partnership between ourselves and Thomas Cook is really bearing fruit.

"It's really brilliant to see these successful ex-students doing so well in their chosen field."

"It's also great that we can provide such a useful service to our local community."

The travel giants have a fully operational retail agency on the college campus which provides an unrivalled training environment for travel students.

There is also a high street service, without the queues, for local people.

The centre is open to the public every week day.
