Thomas Cook was founded by a former Baptist preacher of the same name in 1841. The company was founded in the Leicestershire town of Market Harborough predominately arranging travel for local temperance societies and Sunday schools.

From these humble origins Thomas Cook has grown to be one of the UK's largest travel agents, providing holiday packages, hotel rooms, flights, currency, city breaks, skiing holidays, cruises and other holiday services.

Today, Thomas Cook is the second largest leisure travel group in the UK with around 19,000 employees.

Thomas Cook operates a fleet of 45 aircraft, has more than 800 high street stores (Thomas Cook and Going Places), two websites (www.thomascook.com and www.mytravel.com) and its own television channel on Sky.
