Airangel extends value-added WiFi to holiday parks with acquisition of Park WiFi
- Superior support and WiFi services for holiday park customers
- Fast, reliable Internet enhances WiFi experience for holiday home owners
Warrington, 14th October 2013: Airangel, the innovative WiFi CRM solution provider, today announced the acquisition of Park WiFi, the specialist supplier of wireless Internet services to holiday parks. Park WiFi co-founders, Jonathan Oakden and Chris Pressley will join the Airangel team to provide specialist expertise and local customer understanding.
The acquisition of Park WiFi, which was completed on 1st October 2013, adds 140 sites to the 1,500 WiFi networks already provided by Airangel across the hospitality and leisure industry. Airangel will take over Park WiFi’s customer support with immediate effect, while the full transfer and upgrade of Park WiFi’s existing estate is due to be completed by the end of 2013. Both parties are committed to delivering a smooth transition for customers, who will largely be unaware of the change.
“Park WiFi has been one of the industry’s innovators when it comes to providing content, services and personalised offers to its customers through its web portal,” said Dean Wilkinson, CEO of Airangel, “Its focus on delivering a great user experience and customer insight is right at the heart of Airangel’s WiFi CRM proposition and therefore a natural fit for the business.”
The addition of Park WiFi to Airangel’s portfolio of WiFi solutions follows the company’s acquisition in 2011 of Candengo, the WiFi services company that specialised in providing Internet connectivity to marinas and caravan parks. It further strengthens the company’s expertise in the hospitality and leisure sector, which includes prestigious, traditional and boutique hotels, international chains, next generation hostels, apartments, self-catering holiday parks and marinas.
Jonathan Oakden, co-founder of Park WiFi said, “We’re delighted with the enhanced support and additional services our customers will now have access to and are looking forward to working with Airangel as the network of holiday park sites continues to grow.”
