A fundraising initiative has been launched to honour Frank Regan, a respected figure in the travel industry, who recently passed away at the age of 74. This initiative aims to support St Gemma’s Hospice in Leeds, where Frank spent his last week, receiving care and comfort in his final days.
Frank Regan was a prominent personality in the travel sector, remembered fondly by his colleagues and friends as a “true gentleman”. His career in the travel industry spanned several decades, beginning with his work at coach tour operator NAT Holidays from 1973 until 1986. He furthered his career with roles at Neilson Ski Holidays and French Life before joining Super Break in 1992 as operations director, where he worked until 2011.
The fundraising campaign has been initiated by Allan Robinson, Frank’s neighbour and golfing partner. Allan has described Frank as a “true gentleman” who “made the world a better place with his wonderful smile and happy spirit”. Allan invites friends, colleagues, and those who admired Frank to contribute to the hospice in his memory, instead of sending flowers.
Frank’s professional journey was marked by his commitment and dedication to the travel industry. Gary Wardrope, Chief Executive at Ortharize and a former colleague at Neilson Ski Holidays, echoed sentiments of respect and admiration for Frank. He highlighted the impact Frank had on those around him, noting that his absence would be deeply felt by his peers and the larger community.
Donations can be made through Allan’s JustGiving page, providing an opportunity for those who knew Frank to pay tribute and support a cause close to his heart. As the travel community comes together to remember Frank Regan, the fundraiser seeks to celebrate his life by aiding the hospice that provided him with compassion and care.
Frank Regan’s legacy and spirit continue to inspire as the community rallies to support St Gemma’s Hospice in his honour.
