Boost for travel firm

A BIRMINGHAM enterprise which specialises in tours and holidays for people with disabilities has received a share of £450,000 of funding to support its business development.

Limitless Travel is one of three organisations to receive the funding from charity Nominet Trust and its social tech growth programme.

It is an online travel agency which provides holidays, tours, accommodation and travel for people living with disabilities.

The enterprise also offers tips and information for travellers regarding accessibility at specific attractions, specialist equipment hire and care support.

It was founded by Angus Drummond who was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy in his early 20s. He said he experienced first-hand the problems people with disabilities had when visiting a new place.

Mr Drummond said: “The funding from the Nominet Trust will enable the business to develop new technologies to better support our customer needs. As a business, we are evolving and developing new tours and package offerings. The funding is going to have a really positive impact on the business.”
