“The company offered their services when Trudy Laverick contacted friends to see if anyone could her back to work in the UK for the NHS,” said a review on the business’ Facebook page.

“Only way was to get to Madrid from Benidorm, so Alicante Transfers stepped up for an early morning flight to the UK.”

Trudy set off at midnight on April 9 for her early morning flight on April 10.
