THE founder of Britain's biggest naturist tour operator joined the millionaires' club yesterday after selling the business he founded in 1971.

Seventy-year-old Peter Englert shook hands on a £1.8m deal that will see Peng Travel, based in Romford, Essex, bought by Travelzest, which is listed on the Alternative Investment Market (Aim).

The sale brings to an end 35 years as a private company for Peng, which specialises in naturist holidays to destinations such as Spain and the Caribbean.

Last year, Peng had a turnover of £2.6m and made operating profits of £235,000.
