"Sovereign is a trading name of Specialist Holidays (Travel) Limited, a member of the TUI Group of companies."

They have been part of TUI for at least a decade. They were once First Choice's premium branded package holidays.

Crikey, I remember Poundstretcher holidays!

My first "job" was after school in my dad's travel agents sticking branch stickers on the front of the various brochures, and stamping them on the back with the phone number!

That, and having a sneaky shot of Prestel

Yep, Sovereign was BEA's holiday arm. I recognise the Poundstretcher/Sovereign/Enterprise names from my father (still with BA), who started with BA Reservations at the West London Terminal on the Cromwell Road.
