Selling pizzas gave Jean-Pierre Nadir a grounding that has helped him make an aggressive expansion into the UK online travel market, with further acquisitions on the horizon. Matthew Parsons reports
Jean-Pierre Nadir's entrepreneurial spirit was in evidence from the age of 16, selling crepes in Brittany. A few years later this grew into "Pizza Trente" where he sold pizzas to office workers in Paris, guaranteeing delivery in under 30 minutes.
At 21 he sold the business to Domino's, which was buying up small pizza companies, before moving into travel magazine publishing.
But this early experience with Domino's …
Jean-pierre Nadir started with this "Pizza Trente" where he sold the business to Domino's. Ever since then he has been making an expansion on the UK online travel market. Easyvoyage which Nadir funded, is known to be the booking portal for the internet. It gathers large amounts of data and provides "highly qualified traffic" to its online travel agency partners. Nadir is heading towards the online sources but still believes the future of the high street agents is positive. However, he has suggested that agents must focus on their clients more rather than the destination. As a result of the internet, everyone is an expert of searching these places.
