A well-known travel firm has gone into receivership leaving all its employees redundant.

Receivers PKF have confirmed they were appointed to "safeguard or sell" assets belonging to a long-established Crusader Coach Stop.

The firm, in London Road, Leigh, which trades under the name of Coach Stop and organises short break holidays, theatre tips and excursions, is the subject of an ongoing High Court action.

PKF said an urgent investigation was being carried out regarding customers' deposits and outstanding holidays, trips and excursions.

The action is not connected to the Crusader Holidays firm in Clacton.
