So where would you belong? Let's take a look at the different departments and what they do.
Commercial
We deal directly with the car parks, hotels and lounges to work out what we're going to sell, how we're going to sell it and how much we're going to sell it for.
Contact centre
Need to book airport parking, an airport hotel or an airport lounge? We're here seven days a week to sort everything out for you and give you advice on any aspect of your booking.
Content
This website you're reading now - we write it, keep it up to date and make it creative, catchy, clear and correct. No mean feat considering there are 5,000 pages.
Corporate
We deal with the really big, company-wide stuff, such as tax, legal advice and all the land the company owns. Our team includes the directors and their PAs, who keep their working lives running smoothly.
Customer relations
Got a comment, complaint or criticism? We're here to help, investigate and try to solve your problem.
We contact customers and potential customers by email to let them know about great deals we have that we think will interest them.
Finance
Money, money, money. We deal with all the company finances, from wages to commission for agents.
Front end developers
We build the pages according to instructions from the designers, using CSS, Smarty and Photoshop.
IT
Our website is crucial to our business, so our computer system has to work perfectly. It's our job to see that it does.
Mail room
Despite our name, dealing with all the company mail is only a small part of our job. We do everything from printing and sending out customers' vouchers and rail and coach tickets to dealing with queries from the call centre and stationary.
Marketing
We've got great products and great deals - what's the best way to make people aware of them? It's our job to work that out and put it into action.
MI
We research and supply the figures Holiday Extras needs to succeed - statistics, market data, forecasts and budget figures.
People team
We're the human resources and training department. It's our job to look after the people here and help them to be happy and successful at work.
PPC
We're in charge of Holiday Extras' pay-per-click adverts - the ones which appear at the top of the list when you do a Google search for terms like airport parking and airport hotels.
Partnerships
We look after the other companies that sell Holiday Extras' products, including travel agents, online companies and airlines.
SEO
Our job is to design, build, maintain and optimise all the pages the customer sees before they make their booking. We look after the layout of the page, the code and the navigational links.
Systems development
We design, implement and maintain the web and data systems that Holiday Extras depends on.
Web development
We build and maintain all the parts of the website which the customer actually interacts with to make it as user-friendly as we can.
Web testing
We make sure the website is working as it should be and help the company with its web issues. We test changes and new features and sort out problems with the existing sites.
