The deal sees founder Stuart Wilson, chair Andrew Gardner and existing investor Lawrence Dean increase their investment, with existing backers LDC – the private equity arm of Lloyds Banking Group – remaining as shareholders.

According to Wilson, the additional capital will "accelerate" Blue Bay Travel's growth through "innovation" and strategic acquisitions. Gardner added the agency is "perfectly positioned" to capitalise on a growing demand for "expertise-led, digitally driven" travel.
