Meeeeejah stars

This rollercoaster of a week continues with what can only be described as a "media frenzy" surrounding the fact that we launched the new look Freeads.co.uk as well as the dynamic, buff and terrifyingly young-looking management team.

So far we've had Media Week, Brand Republic, Travel Weekly, mad.co.uk and travelmole.com all battering down our doors dying to know what's going on.

And just so you can see what they're on about here are a few snippets:

travelmole: Ex-lastminute.com bosses take over at classified ads site
Two ex-lastminute.com marketing chiefs – Duncan Horton and Stuart Parish – have taken over at independent classified advertisement site Freeads.co.uk.
The new management team is backed by Clive Jacobs, founder of Holiday Autos, who bought a major stake in the business earlier this year. The original founder of Freeads.co.uk retains a share.
Horton oversees the day-to-day running of Freeads.co.uk from its base in Windsor as chief executive. He is supported by Parish – formerly head of marketing at lastminute.com - who has taken on the role of marketing director.

Brand Republic: Freeads.co.uk appoint ex LastMinute.com marketers for classifieds

LONDON - Independent classified ads site Freeads.co.uk has appointed former Lastminute.com marketing chiefs Duncan Horton as chief executive and Stuart Parish as marketing director.
Horton, who is the former head of marketing at Lastminute.com, will work alongside Clive Jacobs, who acquired a substantial stake in Freeads.co.uk earlier this year, and Stuart Parish, who will be responsible for the marketing development of Freeads.co.uk

Now though it's time for lunch... we're going for a swift half to celebrate the newly relaunched Freeads.co.uk, let's hope that the paps aren't out there waiting for us.

We'll wear our outsized sunglasses Paris Hilton-style just in case...

'Moovers and shakers'

Well, the inappropriate uncle never arrived and frankly I'm a little glad.

The photographer did a fine job of postioning us all in a variety of poses in order to offset our short comings, and by all accounts we all appear 'normal' relatively speaking.

I've been asked 'Stu, why do you look so miserable in the group picture', and I'm not sure to be honest. It might have something to do with the Friesian cow hiding behind me, or possibly the lingering concern over the disproportionate size of my left leg...there goes the dancing career.

Oooooh it's our first blog!

Woooooo! It's a big day today here at Freeads.co.uk - it's the day that our new look site has gone live, the day that we've just had our official photos done and Stu's just put some Elton John on the stereo.
So what with the music choices, the photographer and the tears due to the CD selection it's got a bit of a wedding reception feeling in our offices under the arches in Windsor today.
Now all we need is a giant cake and an inappropriate Uncle...
