Hello, my name is Matias Alvarez Capitaine. I´m from Argentina and I´ve been living in Europe since the 2000. I´m a Co-Founder of EUROPESHUTTLE.COM and my business partner Mariano and I, we walked a very long way to be at this point. I´ve lived in Argentina, Spain, Austria, Germany and UK. Since early ages I worked in the Tourism business as Tour Guide, Call Centre, Ticketing, Sales and Product Manager. So let me tell our company story: 2005 With a 1996 Seat Ibiza my business partner and I starting to pick up foreign students from Madrid Airport as part time job. 2007 Partnerships with Hostels gave us the opportunity to create a company and we upgrade to a 1997 Nissan Serena-7seater. MAD SHUTTLE.COM has born. 2008 Experience and reputation bring new contract and new clients and then new vehicles. It was not a part time job anymore. 2009 Brand New Mercedes Benz added to our fleet. And we wanted to be BIG. The demand growth and international clients started to knock our door, and here is when we failed, our fix costs were hugh and the infrastructure difficult to sustain. 2010 TIME TO THINK & RESEARCH How to??? • Keep to variable costs low • Avoid the payroll sweats • Outsource all but what makes you great • Become a kitchen table tycoon • Avoid capital expenses 2011 We travelled around the world and ring all bells looking for the best best Airport Transfers Suppliers which can meet our requirements and needs of Corporates Travel Agencies, Airlines and Train Companies distributors. 2012 We found the solucion!!! EUROPE SHUTTLE, a Worldwide Airport Transfer booking system for Corporates Travel Agencies, Airlines and Train Companies distributors. With same standards of quality worldwide, easy booking and hassle less invoicing. 2013 We launched EuropeShuttle.com from a little office inside a "Ranelagh Farm", a Polo Farm located in Winkfield, Berkshire. We bootstrap our Start-up and we went organic. 2014 A year of BIG Challenges but also full of Rewards. Corporates and clients refer us for High Quality Worldwide Airport Transfers. FROM NOW ON... • Worldwide Airport Transfers - B2B. • Quality Guarantee, prices showed; price charged, same standards worldwide. • We are looking for partnerships with more Trains distributors, more Airlines & Corporate Travel Agencies. In 2009 we were thinking BIG, NOW we are thiking to be BETTER & BIGGER.
