Steve Walsh hired Citypress’ Manchester office to promote Quote.co.uk, a ‘quote engine’ that allows users to find out the cost of builders, plumbers and other tradesmen via one single enquiry.
Citypress will support Walsh as the site launches early next year.
Walsh and his two brothers launched Laterooms.com in 1998 as a challenge to Martha Lane Fox’s holiday portal Lastminute.com. Tour operator First Choice bought the hotel booking website in 2006, netting the Walsh brothers an estimated £17m.
