UK mini quiz - can you name the revolutionary?

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

These two individuals are currently, or have previously, revolutionised the UK travel & hospitality industry.

Can you name them?

UPDATE: To answer the first comment from IRT - er no - Harry Hill (the comedian) looks like this - and really has nothing to do with travel…… The two above are both well known UK individuals in the travel & hospitality industry….. revolutionary in their own way…. keep guessing….
