Thomas Cook & Son,
originally simply Thomas Cook, was a company founded by Thomas
Cook, a cabinet-maker, in 1841 to carry temperance supporters
by railway between the cities of Leicester, Nottingham, Derby
and Birmingham. The company eventually ran a complete booking
service for holidays, air travel, hotel, taxi and storage. The
Waddon office was their first air terminal one. It was succeeded
by Thomas Cook AG after being sold to a German company in 2002 |
