Our story

At Journey Britain, we believe that travel is more than just visiting new places – it's about creating unforgettable experiences that resonate deeply and leave lasting impressions. Our journey began with our founder, Chirag Golwala, a visionary entrepreneur whose life has been dedicated to revolutionising the travel and technology industries.

A visionary leader

With over two decades of experience, Chirag has been at the forefront of integrating technology with travel, making journeys more accessible and enjoyable for countless travellers. Between 2003 and 2016, he built a successful travel brand across the UK, China, and India. Notably, his business brought 30,000 travellers annually to the UK, significantly contributing to the British economy by exporting luxury UK leisure and corporate travel. In 2016, he founded TripCenter.NET, a groundbreaking platform that transformed travel bookings by seamlessly connecting chartered ground transport operators and tour guides with travel organisations worldwide. Today, TripCenter’s technology powers over 9,000,000 multi-category vehicles in 130+ countries, serving a diverse range of travel needs with efficiency and innovation.

A personal journey

Chirag's story is deeply intertwined with his personal experiences and philanthropic endeavours. As an avid traveller, he has journeyed across more than 50 countries, immersing himself in diverse cultures and landscapes. His extensive explorations have provided him with a profound understanding of the nuances that transform a simple trip into a cherished memory. This insight has been instrumental in shaping his vision for Journey Britain, ensuring that each journey we curate resonates on a personal and meaningful level.

Beyond his professional pursuits, Chirag is passionately committed to giving back to the community. In 2016, he launched the "Let's Travel for Children" initiative, embodying his belief that travel should be an enriching experience accessible to all, regardless of socioeconomic background. Through the #PayWhatYouCan campaign, this initiative funded educational day trips for underprivileged school children in London, offering them opportunities to explore and learn beyond their everyday environments. Donors were invited to contribute any amount, and in gratitude, they were treated to luxury day trips to destinations like Brighton or Oxford, Blenheim, and Bicester Village. This innovative approach not only provided memorable experiences for the donors but also facilitated educational excursions for up to 750 of London's less privileged school children annually, fostering a spirit of generosity and community engagement.

Chirag's dedication to social responsibility extends to his professional ventures as well. In the past, he has collaborated with organisations who aim to inspire children by enabling them to explore learning opportunities outside the confines of the classroom. His belief in the transformative power of travel is not just theoretical; he actively works to make it a reality for others, especially those who might not have the means to experience it otherwise.

These personal experiences and philanthropic initiatives have profoundly influenced the ethos of Journey Britain. Chirag's firsthand understanding of the joys and challenges of travel, combined with his commitment to making travel accessible and meaningful for all, ensures that our company doesn't just offer luxury journeys – we create experiences that are enriching, authentic, and deeply personal.

Bridging passion and expertise

It is this unique combination of professional expertise and personal passion that inspired Chirag to launch Journey Britain, a luxury travel company dedicated to crafting bespoke journeys that cater to the sophisticated tastes of our clients. We understand that luxury travel is not just about opulence; it's about curating moments that touch the soul, offering unparalleled comfort while unveiling the hidden gems of each destination.
