Loveholidays has posted record profits as sunseekers escape abroad.

The online travel agent, which is majority owned by buyout group Livingbridge, saw pre-tax profits rise by a fifth to £67.6 million on sales 27 per cent up at £284 million in the year to October last year.

Founded in 2012, Loveholidays puts together a choice of 39,000 hotels and flights from big airlines and airports in the UK, Ireland and Germany to offer travellers a multitude of package holiday combinations. 

Strong growth continued into the first quarter with bookings up a third on the year before, accounts show.
