Travel Extras scoops e-commerce award
Travel Extras has triumphed in the ‘best use of e-commerce’ category at the 2004 Rising Stars Awards, which are organised by Bedfordshire Newspapers and the Learning and Skills Council.
Travel Extras was presented with the award by journalist Michael Buerk at a recent ceremony in Bedford.
Ray Mulford, the firm’s group managing director, said: “I am delighted with this award which has recognised the fantastic expertise that our highly skilled and dedicated IT team holds.
“We have succeeded with many outstanding achievements over the past year with the objectives of supporting both the increasing demand for booking travel online and developing the technological advancements, which have the potential to make Travel Extras a world leader within our industry”.
Travel Extras was the first UK travel company to introduce an online messenger service to assist customers with enquiries and bookings without the need to use a telephone.
This interactive tool has been joined by travel information, affiliate schemes and members areas, with further advanced features in the pipeline.
