A TEAM of travel agents is celebrating after out-performing city rivals to land themselves a table at the Brit awards.

Thomsons in St Helens has been crowned the chain’s shop of the region, topping 27 others, including travel agents in Liverpool.

The Church Street shop is also in with a chance of being named Thomson’s best nationally, which will be announced at an event in Leeds on Monday, December 9.

As a reward for their excellent customer service, the team of 14 with more than 188 years’ experience between them have landed an invite to the Brit awards next February.

With two shops currently in St Helens, Thomson are about to merge into one branch utilising the old Dixons store.

They are planning a special VIP night for their regular customers for a sneak peak before the official opening.
