Friendly and Efficient Service from Katie

Went into the Houghton le Spring branch and we were greeted by the ever smiley Katie. We had in mind a holiday that we wanted to book but Katie helped us with the finer details. Nothing is ever too much for Katie who is friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. We also had a query about an existing booking which Katie is looking into for us.
