Lunn Poly?
Lunn Poly was the largest chain of travel agents in the United Kingdom. The Lunn Poly company originated from two successful travel agencies which had been established in 1890s; The Polytechnic Touring Association and Sir Henry Lunn Travel. Both firms were acquired in the 1950s by the British Eagle Group, and combined into Lunn Poly during 1965.
In June 1971, Sunair bought Lunn Poly from the Transport Holding Company for £175,000. The next year, Lunn Poly became part of Thomson Travel Group, which increased the number of shops from less than 30 to nearly 500 by 1990.
Lunn Poly is now owned by TUI Northern Europe, a subsidiary of the German conglomerate TUI AG.
On 2 November 2004 the announcement was made that Lunn Poly was to be rebranded as Thomson in order to create a "powerbrand".
TUI UK announced that all 780 Lunn Poly shops in the United Kingdom would be
renamed to Thomson before the peak holiday booking period started on 26 December
2004.
