In brief...

Click was started by brothers James and Simon Mclean as a hotel bookings project.

One of its early clients was Carphone Warehouse, who asked Click to do their rail and air bookings as well, and that’s how we developed our own technology. At one point Carphone Warehouse accounted for 90% of Click’s total bookings – and then they took it overseas. Can you imagine losing 90% of your revenue? Absolutely terrifying! But James and Simon took it on the chin, made sacrifices and kept the business running. A key aspect of Click’s success has always been developing our own technology and putting that out to customers.

I haven’t seen our customers slowing down their business travel. We do an awful lot of UK rail and hotels so maybe we’re less vulnerable than some other TMCS. I’m delighted to be a TMC that is focused on rail and hotels more than air, especially given the sustainability questions right now.”

I’m a big cricket fan. Often in the summer I can be found at Edgbaston cricket ground watching a match – it's my happy place! I was 50 last year and I had my birthday party at a box there during the Ashes series. Incredible!
