A CRUISE company in County Durham expects to see turnover reach a record £5.5m this year.

The figure is well above the £3.9m Check-in Cruise Club, in Crook, made for the year to October 2005 and is more than double the figure in 2004.

Managing director Anthony Blackmore said the company has been growing ten to 20 per cent year-on-year.

To cope with the increasing demand, Check-in Cruise Club has had its software systems revamped with support and training from Business Link in County Durham.
