History
Graham Simpson founded the company in 2002[2] and became its managing director in 2008. He managed the company alongside his sons, Mathew and Daniel.[1]
In 2025, the company sought to keep all its customers safe by signing the safer tourism pledge.[3]
The company raised £ 1.6 million through a share offer campaign in June 2021. The campaign gave its customers a 10 per cent stake in the firm.[1] The company reported sales of £32.7M for the year ending October 2023.[1] Risk Capital Partners purchased a 50 per cent stake in the business in 2024.[1]
Graham Simpson resigned as managing director in 2024. Former operations director Ed Pyke took over as managing director to lead the company, alongside Mathew and Daniel Simpson.[1]
The organisation operates in several European and Mediterranean territories, including mainland France, Corsica, Mallorca, Italy, Greece, Portugal, and Turkey.
It inspects all holiday residences in its portfolio.[4]
British writer Rachel Joyce booked a one-week holiday with the travel provider in March 2021.[5]
