Mairs Thistle Liquidated
Local independent Mairs Thistle went into liquidation in September as confirmed at the Traffic Commissioner hearing where the operators license was revoked.
The firm which had been based at Dyce has run into financial difficulty earlier in the year which has led to control pass to the Booth family who also owned Gordon Travel, formerly of Portlethen and now of Peterculter.
The firm was also hit by a major fire in August which destroyed a number of vehicles and led to much of the staff leaving the firm.
The Scottish Traffic Commissioner was unhappy at the way both Mairs Thistle and Gordons Travel were being run by the Booth family and revoked both operators licenses on the 24th September.
This would appear to be the very last photo I took of a Mairs Thistle/Gordons Travel vehicle, Tawe Coachbuilders bodied Mercedes Sprinter PO12 DUU seen operating at Offshore Europe 2013 a few weeks before the license was revoked.
