Company history


LateRooms.com was launched in Salford, Greater Manchester, in 1999 by brothers Steven, Paul, Tony Walsh and Steve Burton. The site originally started as a simple directory listing hotels, but in 2002 moved to enable users to book hotels online (some hotels require a telephone booking through LateRooms.com). In December 2006, the company was bought by First Choice Holidays plc in a deal worth between £108 million and £120 million.[2]
September 2007 saw First Choice Holidays plc merge with TUI Travel plc to form the TUI Travel Group.[3]


In 2010 LateRooms.com moved to a new head office at The Peninsula building in Manchester, along with sister companies AsiaRooms.com and Hotels-London.co.uk.[4]


In May 2015 TUI announced a restructure of all of its brands and that Laterooms would be sold off[5]


In October 2015, Cox & Kings acquired LateRooms.com for £8.5 million (approx Rs.85 crore)[6][7] However In March 2016, it sold 100% of LateRooms Ltd (UK) (‘LateRooms’) to Enterprises UK Ltd. (‘Malvern’) for GBP 20 million.

Volkswagen Group MQB platform

The Volkswagen Group MQB platform is the company's strategy for shared modular design construction of its transverse, front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout (optional front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout) automobiles. Volkswagen spent roughly $60bn [1] developing this new platform and the cars employing it. The platform underpins a wide range of cars from the supermini class to the mid size SUV class. MQB allows Volkswagen to assemble any of its cars based on this platform across all of its MQB ready factories. This allows the Volkswagen group flexibility to shift production as needed between its different factories. Beginning in 2012, Volkswagen Group marketed the strategy under the code name MQB , which stands for Modularer Querbaukasten , translating from German to "Modular Transversal Toolkit" or "Modular Transverse Matrix".
