It was great to hear that All Leisure Group has acquired what we must remember to call Hebridean Island Cruises again.
The company has saved a much-loved cruiseline, added a lovely little ship to its portfolio and secured the futures of a number of office and ship-based staff, as well as those people in Scotland, where Hebridean Princess sails, who will be employed one way or another provisioning the vessel, securing the ropes when it gets to port (and untying them again), guiding excursions and so on.
All Leisure chairman Roger Allard deserves many thanks.
It was just the news we needed on a miserable Budget day.
