Disabled-friendly specialist travel company, Limitless Travel, today announces 拢800,000 in seed funding to expand the product range to comprise more global destinations and cruises, launching into the US market and launching online booking. The win also caps off one of the company鈥檚 most successful years of trading as the travel industry emerges from operating under COVID-19 restrictions.
The investment comes as more and more customers are looking to access the world of accessible travel following the Pandemic. Limitless Travel鈥檚 mission since launch in 2015 has been to make the world of travel accessible to everyone and anyone, and it鈥檚 precisely this mission that has attracted this new investment. Backers include highly successful entrepreneur Nigel Wray, who has been a shareholder in Domino’s Pizza, Saracens Rugby, Carlton Communications and Singer & Friedlander amongst other companies.
With a strong commercial background across a range of business sectors, lead investor Nigel Wray comments: 鈥淚鈥檓 an avid traveller and have travelled to many different places around the world, but I began to wonder what it鈥檚 like for a disabled person? I鈥檝e flown on countless airlines around the world for decades, yet I can’t ever remember seeing a disabled person on a flight. And it turns out that’s because most airlines just don’t bother because it’s one hell of an effort on their behalf. Limitless Travel, headed up by Angus Drummond, is going to change all that! With between 40% and 50% of disabled people in the UK never going on holiday because of all the associated stress of organising a trip, Limitless Travel鈥檚 team of expert carers who travel with every trip ensure that everything is taken care of and passengers can truly relax and enjoy their dream holiday. It’s a wonderful journey to be going on with them鈥�.
