Neutron Ventures Launches Online Travel Agency
Neutron Ventures, the incubator founded by serial entrepreneur Maz Darvish, today announces that it has launched its second online enterprise, SqueezeHolidays.com, since its own inception earlier this year.
SqueezeHoildays.com is an online travel agency aimed at finding consumers the best possible travel solutions at affordable prices. The agency comes to the market with an accommodation only proposition, focused on popular beach destinations, but is committed to transforming its offering into a full service online travel agency in the imminent future.
The Neutron management team has considerable experience and an excellent track record in the online travel sector having previously created and grown substantial travel media properties. This expertise is being supplemented by the appointment of travel industry veteran Laurence Woodhams as commercial director of SqueezeHolidays.com. Lawrence brings with him well over ten years of high level travel experience.
Maz Darvish, Chairman of SqueezeHolidays.com says, “In one form or another, the team behind SqueezeHoliday.com has been involved in the successful development and marketing of online travel businesses for over a decade. Collectively we have pioneered new technologies, engineered new processes and created new consumer offerings. This wealth of experience and knowledge is now being put to full use to make SqueezeHoliday.com a full service online travel agency that achieves excellence in all its core functions.”

Notes to Editors:
Neutron Ventures was established earlier this year to revolutionise the traditional incubator business model. The Company focuses on online opportunities within the travel, automotive and lead generation sector.
Unlike traditional incubators and investment houses whose models are generally based on minority equity participation in a large number of projects, Neutron will take a highly selective approach. The company will seek a majority equity stake of at least 75% in a handful of the most attractive projects, ensuring it is fully incentivised to play an active role in the development and management of each venture.
Neutron’s maiden venture AssuredTrade.com was launched in August 2008. The website links those seeking professional services with the most compatible suppliers.
