James Dewar and Alistair McAlinden from Interpath were appointed as joint provisional liquidators to Fishers Tours Limited (‘Fishers Tours’) on Friday 30 May 2025.
Fishers Tours was a Dundee-based private hire coach company that provided short and long-distance travel in Scotland. The Company employed 27 people and operated from Mid Craigie Industrial Estate with a fleet of 18 coaches. In recent months, the business has faced financial challenges amidst rising costs but operated with fixed price customer contracts, which impacted its ability to meet its financial obligations.
The business ceased trading on Friday 23 May 2025 and consequently, upon appointment of the joint provisional liquidators, all staff were made redundant.
All services, including pre-booked hires, group travel and music event travel, have ceased. Customers with bookings are advised to seek alternative travel arrangements, while customers who have paid deposits are advised to speak to their bank or credit card provider. Should you wish to submit a claim in the Liquidation, please contact fisherstours@interpath.com.
Dundee City Council and Angus Council are making arrangements to ensure the continuity of school transport services.
Alistair McAlinden, managing director at Interpath and joint provisional liquidator of Fishers Tours Limited, said: “Fishers Tours has been a core part of the local transport network in the Dundee City and Angus region for more than two decades and we recognise the devastating impact the closure of the business will have on staff, customers and wider community.
“Regrettably, all bookings and services have been cancelled and customers are advised to seek alternative arrangements and engage with their bank or credit card provider if a deposit has been paid. As provisional liquidators, our immediate focus is to explore the circumstances of the liquidation and support affected employees to ensure they have access to the necessary guidance in making claims to the Redundancy Payments Office.”
