Chauffeur Drive North East

Since the domain name northeastchauffeurs.co.uk is currently the subject of a court case (see here) we have decided that it might as well be put to good use. The original site has now been removed and we are redirecting the domain name to a holding page which recommends people looking for those services to contact Chauffeur Drive North East at www.cdne.co.uk.   We have had a look at Chauffeur Drive North East's web site and made some enquiries.  They have been around for over ten years and (according to reports) offer a professional service of exceptional value.  We are delighted to recommend...

North East Chauffeuring

Well, after six months we have decided to take Jason Haswell to court as he hasn't paid his bill.  He commissioned us to build a web site for his business back in July last year and we managed to place it at the top of Google after less than three weeks online.  He promised to settle his account by 7th August 2009 and we are still waiting despite many reminder letters, cards dropped through his letterbox, messages left on his phones, text messages and emails.  He has made no attempt to contact us and ignored recorded delivery letters.  We are therefore...

Part of this project will involve digitising their books (some written in 1980 don't have digital versions available) and converting their DVD and VHS material (including TV interviews from the US networks) into Silverlight. With deep links to Google Maps the authors will...

Postcode Data To Be Freed!!!

Jobs In Lanzarote

One of our most successful sites in terms of visitors and search engine positioning is now being retired. This is because we are developing a new service called I RECRUIT EU - a complete recruitment solution for job seekers and employers across Europe. We will be working with developers around the world to deliver a standards based solution free of charge for employers and job seekers. Watch this space for more information.

Lanzarote Property Services

After a six year run this site has been retired. Whilst it enjoyed high visitor numbers we feel that this service is better incorporated into some of our other Lanzarote Business Network services.
