Bob Haugh

Bob Haugh is an Irish travel entrepreneur and co-founder of Click&Go Holidays, an online travel platform valued at €35 million. Click&Go provides holiday-makers with an easy-to-use platform to design their own holiday by matching flights with great value accommodation across Europe and worldwide, and is the official holiday provider for Aer Lingus under the brand Holidays with Aer Lingus.

In 1995, Haugh founded The Travel Department, which grew to a €40 million turnover and became one of Ireland and the UK's most trusted guided group travel providers. Click&Go was founded in 2010 by Paul Hackett, Bob Haugh, Gillian Bowler and Harry Sydner as a 100% Irish-owned business. The founders wanted to reinvent traditional online package holidays by giving customers the power to choose what type of holiday they wanted and how they wanted to pay for it, introducing a €1 holiday deposit model and selling packages including city breaks, beach holidays, long haul trips and cruises.

Beyond Click&Go, Haugh launched OROKO Travel, a bespoke luxury travel business generating €12 million annually, and has ventures extending to OSLO Health and Beauty and Detail Security. He brings experience from previous roles at Comparethefare.ie, GroupLeader, and other online travel businesses. Haugh attended Castleknock College from 1982 to 1988. He regularly takes to the open road on his motorcycle, many of Travel Department's destinations inspired by these road trips exploring destinations around the world.
