Leeds-based holiday price comparison website icelolly.com has been recognised by leading private equity and venture capital organisation BVCA, winning the regional business transformation management team award for Yorkshire and the North East.
This follows a period of year-on-year growth for the business, which achieved a 23% EBITDA increase in 2016 versus the previous year. This has been driven by the company’s focus on improving the customer experience as it aims to become the UK & rsqup’s leading holiday price comparison website.
Backed by Palatine Private Equity in September 2013, icelolly.com has made significant investment in its technology platforms, including the development of a new website and mobile app. Efforts are paying off, with mobile searches and app sessions both up year on year.
The BVCA Management Team Awards recognise the UK’s best performing businesses backed by venture capital and private equity. As regional winner, icelolly.com has now been shortlisted for the national awards, which are held on the 30th November in London.
