James Lohan Speaker at MADE festival for Entrepreneurs Sheffield

James Lohan

Co-founder of Mr & Mrs Smith

James Lohan started his entrepreneurial career in 1994 by founding Atomic, organising London parties and events. Next, he ran restaurant and members’ club the White House, before turning his attentions to boutique hotels.

Since Mr & Mrs Smith’s first guidebook was published under the Spy Publishing imprint in 2003, Smith has grown from a labour of love to a multi-faced boutique travel provider, developing an online booking service, a 24-hour in-house reservations team, and a three-tiered membership programme which includes a full travel and lifestyle concierge service.

Under the helm of James and his wife Tama, the company has opened offices in New York and Melbourne, and now has more than 480,000 members worldwide. Last year, mrandmrssmith.com was voted “favourite travel website” in the Condé Nast Traveller Readers’ Awards.
