Luke Johnson’s Risk Capital Partners has secured an undisclosed stake in Simpson, which the business said would allow it to expand the range of European destinations it offers and grow its property portfolio.


Former Hotelplan chief Paul Carter will join the board of Simpson Travel and take over as chair from founder Graham Simpson, who will continue to advise the board.
