Company History of Last Minute

Last Minute was founded in 1998 by Martha Lane Fox and Brent Hoberman, two entrepreneurs who saw an opportunity to capitalize on the emerging trend of online travel bookings. The company launched its website in the same year, offering last-minute deals on flights, hotels, and holidays.

The company quickly gained popularity, thanks in part to a clever marketing campaign that featured the tagline “so much more to see when you’re lastminute.com”. The company went public on the London Stock Exchange in 2000, and at its peak, had a market value of more than £750 million.

However, the dot-com bubble burst in 2001, and lastminute.com was hit hard by the economic downturn that followed. The company’s share price plummeted, and it was forced to lay off hundreds of employees. Despite these challenges, lastminute.com continued to innovate and expand its offerings, launching new services like restaurant bookings and entertainment tickets.

In 2005, lastminute.com was acquired by Travelocity, a US-based travel company, for £577 million. Travelocity was itself acquired by Expedia Group in 2015, and lastminute.com became part of the Bravofly Rumbo Group, a European online travel agency.

Today, Last Minute continues to offer a wide range of travel and leisure services, and is one of the largest online travel companies in Europe. The company has offices in several countries and serves millions of customers each year.

Poor quality furniture.

November 14, 2025

We purchased our marble table & chairs from this company. We have six chairs & three of them we cannot use as the frame have failed & cracked on the join of the frame. We contacted Lee the manager from the company at the beginning of this year in February, he had offered us £200, not long after we had the same issue with another of the set of chairs & couple of months there after another chair of the set & had the same issue. We are a family of three & barely use all the chairs only on special occasions when there are more of us.

We believe that we should have had more usage of the chairs baring in mind the cost of the table & chairs were over £ 2000.

We would not recommend this company!

Terrible customer service

November 14, 2025

Daals furniture quality might be acceptable, who knows, but their delivery is a joke.

I’d paid over £29 for express delivery on 4 items. When delivery finally came, which was only after I’d pressed them due to no delivery date, it was incomplete and what did arrive was wet and damaged. Hardly surprising, with doorbell footage showing the way it was crudely planted at the front door by DHL, with an audible “clunk” despite it having a label that said “Fragile, Glass”

I didn’t get the chance to refuse or accept this delivery because the driver didn’t wait for even a second before running back to his van.

Throughout this daals has made no effort to contact me. I am the one that has tried to drive it along, with no continuity within the company, my having to explain the whole thing every time I have called.

It’s now the end of the working day with still nothing so I have just called again and requested a refund and for daals to come and take away the remnants of this sorry shipment.

That seems to have stirred something…they are apparently looking into this with a purpose now, and I’ve agreed to wait until after the weekend. Apparently they’ve been trying to trace the missing item within DHL.

Why they can’t just send out another item is a mystery.

God knows what they’re doing about the damaged item.

Their only saving grace ie my being able to speak to a person is negated by the fact that they have so far been about as effective as a rubber fork. At no point have I got the feeling that they’ve actually done anything. I shall update this with the eventual outcome…….

Best Oak Wardrobe Purchase for my parents

September 2, 2025

I recently purchased an oak wardrobe for my parents and couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. The delivery was impressively fast, which was a real bonus. The wardrobe itself is excellent quality – solid, well-made, and clearly built to last. It looks fantastic in their bedroom, adding both style and practicality.

My parents are absolutely delighted with it, and I wouldn’t hesitate to order from this company again.

Should be renamed the "Gok" show

June 24, 2025

The content is self centred around Gok his opinions and innuendos. The “magic’ has gone out of this show and left Harriet as a side kick for his ego. I loved listening to Harriet and Ronan and laughed heartily along with them. I now choose a different station.

Gok is not good for Magic Breakfast

April 22, 2025

Just simply rubbish chat and weak content – what a void after the excellent Ronan and Harriet team. Please get Harriet a better partner – she is being let down badly. I am now back to Jamie and Amanda on Heart. Honestly irritating voice and non relatable chatter.
