Now into its third year of trading, the UK’s most comprehensive, fastest growing mobile phone comparison engine has announced a 1200% year on year growth in revenue, with projected revenues in excess of £1,000,000 this year.
After forming in 2007 via a networking meeting in Barbados between the now co-directors Neil McHugh and James Zielinski, www.rightmobilephone.co.uk, part of TRG Online LTD, has reported 1200% growth in revenue when comparing revenues from year one to year two. With offices now in London, Reading and Newcastle, the site helps save consumers time and money by comparing over 600,000 mobile phone contract deals from all major networks and retailers as well as over 5000 handset reviews from customers.
The mobile comparison platform was launched in November 2007 into an extremely competitive sector, with just £10,000 private funding and now attracts more than 500,000 unique visitors each month, users can compare handsets and tariffs from all major networks and compare opinions on handsets via over 5000 handset reviews posted by users.
This year, rightmobilephone.co.uk could be the ones to watch in the industry, with a projected milestone revenue of £1,000,000, a further 400% growth for the website. Now a growing brand that has been widely recognised by the national media and consumers alike, the website continues to build on its success, forming valuable relationships with major networks as well as providing a time and money saving tool for consumers.
26-year-old, Newcastle based James Zielinski, the co-director of rightmobilephone.co.uk, studied multimedia and computing at Northumbria University for 2 years, before deciding to take up a position at Holiday Discount Centre in Newcastle, then went on to work as a developer on travel comparison site Holidaywatchdog.com before co-founding the company. James commented on the positive growth of the company so far;
“It’s fantastic to see the progression in such a short period, the company has come so far within 2 years, from a simple idea to something that provides real value for visitors. I think we have a solid evolving platform which is wrapped in a versatile, friendly brand, providing consumers a valuable service, we just have continue to do what we do well, better.”
At 32-years-old, Reading based Neil McHugh’s initial background was in the Aerospace industry, after acquiring a strong understanding of the online space and its potential founded internet marketing company Passingtrade Ltd, 3 years later co-founding Rightmobilephone.co.uk. Neil said.
“The mobile sector is very competitive, it has been a challenging 2 years to establish ourselves but we now feel we have a strong foundation and a growing brand to build upon. The company has exceeded expectations in the past year, we are pleased with the positive growth figures particularly in the current economic climate.
“The feedback we have had from consumers has been positive as has been the support of our commercial partners, we will continue to grow the business and are very much looking forward to the year ahead with a host of improvement and expansion plans to be announced in 2010.”
