Hi,
Too many people in Ireland are regularly ripped off and generally treated badly by businesses who either engage in systematic profiteering or else just don't respect their customers as much as they should. Are you familiar with ringing customer service and getting the "press 1 for.... press 2 for .... for example? Or banks who choose not to pass on rate reductions (why are we letting them away with this type of behaviour?)
I have an idea for a website based on promoting consumer advocacy and the tried and tested idea that there is power in numbers. I would like to talk to web designers and marketing professionals (or others who have something to contribute) who would be interested in getting involved and providing services for this, for a share in the business. This would be a jointly owned business, I am not funding it but if we get it right I can see commercial possibilities with it which would make it a viable entity. I am based in Galway and can provide office space and machines if required. If you would like to know more then please reply.
Thanks.
