B2C Travel Media, eCommerce and Technology

Specialising in media, eCommerce and technology for the travel industry

I have been working in eCommerce, travel and technology since 1995 and an experienced launcher of many products and eCommerce services.

I have recently founded 8media - an Internet Media Investment and Consultancy Company.

You can see a comprehensive profile on LinkedIn.

I was until recently the eCommerce Director for Comtec, an international travel technology business based in the UK.

Internet Media Company - Investment and Consultancy

8media is a business which aims to seek out and invest in and grow high growth consumer services. The investment isn't just money I also aim to use my experience to help grow businesses.

The internet is continuously enabling new ideas to be tested out and there are many people at the stage where they have a working concept and need help in getting it off the ground. With 8media I aim to help just a few companies and hopefully make it big.

Travelbeen - the social search engine for travel

Travelbeen™ is one of 8media's first investments, and is a highly ambitious service, collating the world’s largest collection of travel websites, categorising, indexing and mapping every page to a location or destination.

Travelbeen™ is truly social, users can see the popularity of a travel website, based on the number of bookmarks that it has received. Bookmarking can be done within Travelbeen™ or on travel websites that have signed up to the bookmarking service.

It is one place where consumers can keyword search across hand picked travel companies; see the destinations they cover, their accreditations and popularity.
