The hotel reservation website Roomex.com was awarded 3rd place in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Awards for 2010 at an Awards Ceremony in the Europa Hotel, Belfast on Friday 12th November. Roomex.com, which won the Deloitte Rising Star Award 2 years ago, has now achieved third place in the overall rankings with growth of over 3000% over the last 5 years.
Roomex.com continues to innovate on it's website by adding more hotels all over the world at very competitive rates and by introducing new search features to make it easier for customers to find exactly what they are looking for. All searches are now geo-code based, allowing customers to search not only by city names but also by points of interest such as hotels near football stadiums or train stations etc. Roomex.com is proof that investing and developing in your own technology can reap its awards and that a young Irish company can compete with larger international competitors.
Roomex.com also prides itself on extremely high levels of customer service, offering free advice on where to stay all over the world, and asks customers for reviews of the hotel after their stay as well as their overall experience on Roomex.com.
Jack Donaghy, CEO of Roomex.com, was absolutely delighted with the award. “We have worked extremely hard over the last 3 years in a time of uncertainty for the travel industry, I feel this award is recognition of all that hard work, and proof that listening to your customers needs and staying focused on your technology development, can reap it's rewards. I hope that this evening will help to propel Roomex.com to become an even stronger brand internationally, that customers can trust for travel. We will continue to innovate our product and liaise with our customers so we can offer an even more rewarding online travel experience.”
Mr. Donaghy has a proven track record for innovation - in 2004, his first company, Webtrade, a web development firm based in Dublin, also finished 3rd in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Awards, maintaining its position in the Technology Fast 50 for 7 consecutive years!
