History

[edit]

The company was founded in December 2005 by Adrian Walton and Lesley Etienne.[1] In 2013, the company underwent a management buyout backed by Palatine Private Equity for £17 million.[2] Since then, icelolly.com has relocated their offices from Wyke, Bradford to Leeds city centre, West Yorkshire.[3]

Andrew Latham replaced outgoing CEO Dave Clayton on an interim basis in May 2014 and got a permanent position in December of that year.[4][5] That same year the business was rebranded, with a logo and website makeover.[6][7]

In December 2017, former Travelzoo president Richard Singer was appointed as CEO.[8][9]
