... Neilson
 
Aντί του ποσού των 9,15 εκ. λιρών πούλησε ο Thomas Cook τον σπεσιαλίστα τ.ο. Neilson στο private equity Risk  Capital Partners.
Η πώληση αναμένεται να ολοκληρωθεί μέσα στην ερχόμενη εβδομάδα, ενώ δεν ανανέμενεται οποιαδήποτε άλλη μεταβολή στα περιουσιακά στοιχεία του γιγαντιαίου tour operator. 
Η διευθύνουσα σύμβουλος του Ομίλου Harriet Green, δήλωσε:
"The transformation of our UK business - and that of the Group overall - is happening at pace. "We have previously undertaken a comprehensive review of our product portfolio and where we want our business to be. "Today's announcement is the result of our continuing rationalisation of our business. Building on our other recently announced disposals, it will allow us to focus on those key brands, propositions and products that will deliver our strategy for profitable growth."

Thomas Cook said for the year ended 30 September 2013, the Neilson businesses contributed approximately £1 million to the group's earning before interest and taxes. As a result of the sale, it will separately disclose a £13 million non-cash asset impairment write down within its income statement for the year ended 30 September 2013. In 1999, Thomas Cook merged Neilson's ski and sailing operations to create Neilson Active Holidays.
