Stuba's Matt Stuart is to leave the business he co-founded after 28 years, remarking he felt the time was right to step aside after the business was acquired two years ago.

Stuart began his career in 1998 at the age of 20 when he took over Key Resorts Ltd – a two-person operation which specialised in Florida hotel bookings for UK travel agents. At the time, the business was facing closure, with annual sales of approximately £250,000.

By 2001, the business had expanded into UK and European hotel contracting and launched its first online booking platform before rebranding as getabed in 2005.
