Holiday Extras makes strategic investment in Dutch tech start up Transferz

Holiday Extras Group has made a material investment in Amsterdam-based airport transfer provider Transferz as part of a new long-term partnership.

Holiday Extras will also be taking a board seat and working closely with the founding team to grow the Transferz business, alongside advancing their own transfers product offering for Holiday Extras' customers and Holiday Extras' many B2B partnerships.

The new strategic partnership sees the companies teaming up to offer the very best transfers proposition to the market. Customers can now expect an even bigger supply of quality, on-time transfers in more locations, all backed up by Holiday Extras' money back Transfer Guarantee.

The founding team of Transferz, led by Johan van Vulpen as CEO, has huge experience and success from prior ventures, including Greetz which was sold to Moonpig in 2018.

Matthew Pack, Group CEO of Holiday Extras:

"We loved the business, the tech and the Transferz team. They share our sense of fun and purpose. Their fresh approach to transfers solves a bunch of customer problems through great technology and delivers a global supply chain we can truly rely on. We were in the process of building out this product ourselves and then saw the best route to delivering our ambitions was to invest in a winning team and accelerate the plan."

Simon Hagger, Chief Business Development Officer for Holiday Extras, brokered the deal and said:

"Our investment in Transferz signals how serious Holiday Extras is about delivering the very best products we can to the market. We continue to expand our product offering, giving customers and partners all the key travel ancillary products they need in a single app, single online search or via our multi product partner API. We loved this business, the technology and team so much, we needed to be part of it!"

Johan van Vulpen, CEO of Transferz:

"Transferz is delighted to bring Holiday Extras on board, not just as a key investor but as a major strategic growth partner. Their brand reach and long-term expertise in providing the best ancillaries all in one place will further accelerate our plans to offer an unrivalled technology and supply platform on a global scale."
