Well, another award for 82ASK! It’s much appreciated, as all encouragement goes a long way. Our tech team have worked closely with our customers and Texperts to build an amazing set of tools that allow us to deliver exactly what our customers quite rightly demand from a service like ours. They have used the best of some very recent developments in web and server technologies to do so. We’re very proud of them, and are over the moon that they have been recognised by such a prestitigious award.

Judges’ comments:

This is a simple, innovative service built on sound technology. 82ASK cleverly combines and uses two emerging technologies to provide a useful service to customers. There is also clearly a demand for a mobile search service. This demand is driven by changes to consumer behaviour which mean we want useful information on demand. The service has been growing at an average of 28% per month since launch and clearly has potential for future growth. They are currently pursuing partnerships with major media and directory enquiry groups. The business is clearly scalable and has outstanding growth potential.

That’s the solution put forward by the team at LUUP. Read the rest of this entry »
