Say Hi to Ray!

Well Ray isn’t technically new to the DoneDeal family! He’s been working with us part time since 2009 but we’re delighted to announce that we’ve converted him into a full time DoneDealer!

Ray will be looking after all the finances for DoneDeal as our Chief Financial Officer, keeping us all on our toes!

Some random interesting facts about Ray:

  • He’s from Waterford.
  • He likes Rally driving, whenever he gets the chance.
  • He’s big into running and has just completed the Great Limerick Run and this years Run-a-muck!

Why not take a moment to welcome him to your DoneDeal family by leaving a comment below to say Hi to Ray!

We’re gonna be on the telly!

by Donna in category News & Awards

I’m too excited to keep it in anymore so I’ve gotta share this with you DoneDealers!  We’re just about to run our very first TV ad campaign and we’re just so excited about being on the telly!

Ok, so we actually won’t be on the telly, but you get the idea!

So to thank all you loyal, funny, friendly and super supportive DoneDealers for sticking with us all these years and helping us to grow into Ireland’s largest classifieds website, we wanted to give you a sneak preview of our ad before it hits your TV screens this Monday, 14th of May.

Watch it very closely and see if you can spot something familiar in the ad. ;-)

Don’t forget to keep an ear out for our Radio Ad as well!
