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.
Limitless Travel is an online travel agency which provides holidays, tours, accommodation and travel for people living with disabilities.
It also offers tips and information for travellers regarding accessibility at specific attractions, specialist equipment hire and care support.
The enterprise was founded by Angus Drummond who was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy in his early 20s.
As his mobility began to decline, he quit his job in investment banking and set out to explore the world but discovered there was almost no information available for disabled travellers.
He said he experienced first-hand the problems that 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.
