When Sunderland-based Hays Travel announced a return to profit for the first time since the start of the pandemic, and three years since rescuing Thomas Cook, it was the staff who got the applause from their boss - Dame Irene Hays.
The company fought back against a series of challenges to the travel industry to report a profit before tax of £14.35m.
Owner and chair, Dame Irene Hays paid tribute to her staff, saying: “Our people have yet again been phenomenal. The success of the company in 21/22 is down to their fantastic commitment."
