UK travel company SAVED after falling into administration
A TRAVEL company that fell into administration earlier this year has been saved.
Groupia Ltd, which sells stag do holidays and company away days, has been acquired by Cheshire-based Funktion Leisure.
Known for their golf trips, hen and stag dos, spa breaks and tours, the company opened back in 2002 and since, more than 750,000 travellers have travelled with the company.
The site is now up and running again with different holidays and getaways on offer.
For example, you could book a trip to Friendsfest in Bournemouth from £249 per person, including two nights accommodation, hot tub access, a silent disco and a locally sourced BBQ hamper.
Or for £319 per person, you could book a spa experience in Barcelona with a hummer pick up from the airport.

The company fell into administration back in June after 24 years in business.
Funktion Events managing director Jay Broughton said: “We acquired GoHen and StagWeb out of administration because they’re two of the strongest names in UK hen and stag travel, with more than 750,000 customers between them since 2002.
“Both are back open and taking bookings, and early demand since the relaunch has been really encouraging, which tells us the appetite for these brands never went away.”
On the company’s website, it also added that over the coming months it will focus on investing in the sites and services.
Funktion Events has arranged more than 55,000 hen parties and 12,000 stag weekends since 2007.
The company has also organised thousands of corporate and team-building events.
