Ilford Pilgrimage Operator Yourtravelshop.com Ltd Enters Voluntary Liquidation

The move removes a long-running Hajj and Umrah organiser and leaves customers uncertain about upcoming departures and refunds.

Overview

  • Yourtravelshop.com Ltd was placed into voluntary liquidation with Donald Harper and Andrew Maak named joint liquidators on July 21, a step formally recorded in The Gazette on July 26.
  • The company’s website now returns errors and shows no available trips, and reports say it is unclear whether already booked departures will go ahead or how customers will be repaid.
  • The business began as a family service in 1995, incorporated in 2004, served thousands of pilgrims on Hajj, Umrah and Ziyarat trips, and its last public financial filings are dated 19 October 2025.
  • Before trips were suspended, advertised package prices ranged from about £1,200 for short Ramadan Umrah breaks to roughly £1,875 for full-month packages and higher-cost ‘signature’ options.
  • The collapse follows several UK travel firms entering insolvency in 2026 and customers should look for official notices from the joint liquidators, The Gazette and Companies House for guidance on bookings and claims.
