Say Hello to John!

IMG_0468It’s getting to be a busy little hive here at the DoneDeal offices.  The latest member of the DoneDeal team joined us this week.

John will take on the very important role of Chief Operating Officer around here, ensuring that we all stay on our toes and you guys get the very best out of the website!

John is from Bridgetown in Wexford and apparently is a huge fan of Tottenham Hotspurs for some strange reason that only he knows!  But we won’t hold that against him.

Please say hello to John in the comment box below, make him feel welcome.

€12,472 for Simon!

simon communitySimon’s month has now come to a very successful end.  For the month of February, DoneDeal gave 30 cent for each ad placed on our site to the Simon Community.  We have got our calculators out and the grand total raised is…….(drum roll please)… €12,472.20!

The Simon Community does fantastic work with people who are homeless in Ireland as well as those that are in danger of becoming homeless.  The money that has been raised from your ads during Simon Month will go to help develop a programme in Wexford to help combat homelessness.  Thanks to everyone that placed ads during Simon Month.  You DoneDealers did good!

Our next charity month will be April.  More info on this to come so keep an eye on our blog for updates!
