Bagnall, affectionately known in the industry as “Baggers”, launched Baggers Travel and The Mauritius Club earlier this month. Speaking exclusively to TTG, Bagnall confirmed he had been thinking about ending his quarter-of-a-century stint at Beachcomber for around a year.
"The question was: when do I actually leave and set up my own business?” he said. “I'd been thinking about it for a year or so. You just have to get on with it. There’s going to be no better time than now.”
