Our Story
About us...
How did it all start?
Founded by engineer and entrepreneur Greg Wilson in 2003, Seopa was an early pioneer of online price comparison technology in the UK.
Quotezone.co.uk, which we launched in 2005, has grown to become one of the UK’s leading price comparison platforms, while CompareNI.com is now Northern Ireland’s number one comparison platform.
We also partner with other businesses in the financial services, insurance, energy and media industries, enabling them to benefit from the same proprietary comparison technology we use ourselves.
