Behind the SME with Mike Jones, CTO of LoveHolidays
From turning a £5 million turnaround story into a £2.2 billion exit to steering a travel brand through the chaos of COVID, Mike Jones has built a career on turning complexity into clarity through technology, leadership and curiosity.
In this episode of Behind the SME, Mike shares 30 years of lessons in scaling fast-moving businesses, rebuilding teams under pressure and creating cultures where innovation thrives.
He talks about why growth doesn’t come from control but from empowering experts, how he rebuilt a company from the inside out during lockdown, and why “weaponising your weirdness” might just be the key to thriving in the age of AI.

- How a failing business became a multi-billion-pound success story
- What it takes to lead through crisis and change
- How to turn a traditional company into a technology-driven one
- Why autonomy and curiosity drive real growth
- How AI can become your thinking partner, not your replacement
