Jennifer Atkinson, CEO of ITC Luxury Travel, the UK’s leading independent luxury tour operator, announced that she has completed a management buy-out of ITC, backed by Paul Pindar, with banking provided by Santander.  Pindar, the former CEO of Capita, has been appointed Chairman of the new parent company of ITC, The Luxury Travel Group. Pindar spent 26 years at Capita, building it into a £7.5bn FTSE 100 company.

ITC Luxury Travel is one of the UK’s longest established independent, luxury tour operators with revenue of over £47m. Over the past 40 years, they have amassed a wealth of experience and knowledge and have become synonymous with providing clients with exceptional service from their first conversation with a dedicated Travel Specialist through to the Concierge team who ensure every aspect of a client’s holiday is exclusively commissioned for them. With its continued focus on people, the company made it onto the Top 100 Small Company to Work For list for the third year running in 2014.

The company remains 100% British owned with June Foster, of the original founding family, retaining a shareholding alongside other members of the ITC management team. The family style ethos of the company will be retained with its focus on values, partnership and people at the heart of what it does. The strategy moving forward will be to create organic growth through significant investment in people and systems together with the targeted acquisition of travel businesses both within the luxury sector and also in other specialist sectors.
