Birmingham-based scale-up will use investment to expand product range, enhance technology, and build platform for global growth
Limitless Travel, an innovative travel company specialising in accessible holidays for people with disabilities, has raised £6.5m in a Series A funding round to support its next phase of growth. The investment follows 350% growth in revenues since 2022, capping off the company’s most successful year of trading since launch in 2015.
Limitless Travel’s mission has always been to make the world of travel accessible to everyone, and it’s this purpose that has driven investor support. The round was led by transatlantic venture capital firm Beringea, with participation from Social Impact Enterprises, Adjuvo, Active Partners, Miroma Ventures, and existing investors including Nigel Wray.
Founded in 2015 by Angus Drummond, who was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy at the age of 22, Since 2022, the company has delivered thousands of holidays and cruises to disabled travellers, grown its annual revenues by more than 350% and expanded the team to over 80 members of staff.
This investment will power the next phase of Limitless Travel’s growth, enabling the business to enhance its holiday offering, expand its destination portfolio, invest in technology to drive operational efficiency, reach new customer demographics, and build the foundations for the world’s first globally successful travel company for people with disabilities. Most importantly, it brings Limitless one step closer to achieving its mission: to transform the lives of disabled people through travel, and to ensure that everybody, regardless of their disability, can see and explore the world we live in.
Limitless Travel CEO, Angus Drummond, comments: “We’re thrilled to announce our £6.5m Series A raise, marking a major milestone in what’s set to be a momentous year for Limitless Travel. This investment is not only a game-changer for our business, but also for disability travel as a whole. It will allow us to further enhance the quality and range of our holidays, expand into new products and destinations, and accelerate our international growth. Accessible travel should never be an afterthought, it’s one of the largest and fastest-growing sectors in the industry. DIsabled travellers, and their families and companions deserve nothing but the best, and that is what Limitless provides. With the support of our investors, we’re now in the strongest position yet to lead the charge and show the world the true power of disability travel.”
“An estimated 1 in 5 people in the UK live with a disability, and over 11 million people have mobility challenges that can make traditional travel options difficult or inaccessible. The global accessible tourism market is valued at over US$100 billion, and is growing rapidly due to demographic trends and increasing awareness. Yet, most travel providers still fail to cater for this community, leaving the joy of travel out of reach for millions of disabled people. Limitless Travel is at the forefront of the accessible travel revolution - smashing down the barriers disabled people face and creating a service that not only rivals the best in the world, but betters it. After being excluded for so long, disabled travellers deserve nothing other than the very best.”
Kiu Kim, Investment Director at Beringea, comments: “Angus and the team have built an exceptional business. Not only is Limitless Travel growing rapidly, but it is also having a huge impact on the lives of its customers – opening up new experiences and destinations for people who previously struggled to access these trips of a lifetime. Beringea is hugely excited to see where this business heads and the impact that we can drive together.”
