Click Travel chief technology officer Simon McLean, also one of the founders of the company, has passed away aged 41.

The travel management company said he was an ‘extraordinary talent, a wonderful colleague and good friend’ and said he will be greatly missed.

He founded the Birmingham-Based business with his brother James.

The company said he leaves a ‘tremendous legacy’ in Click Travel with a strong board and management team, further strengthened by recent investment from BGF.

CEO Jill Palmer said: "Simon achieved incredible success, and at the same time will be remembered as a very humble individual. Everyone who knew him was touched by the warmth of his personality. He will be sadly missed as a colleague and friend."
