We will delve into the strategies and team dynamics that underpin RateHawk’s operations in these regions. We explore their plans, team successes, hiring initiatives, and the company culture for fostering growth.
With Julita, we discussed the main priorities for the UK & Ireland region for the next 1–3 years. She told us that the ever-growing UK-based team aims to reach out to all UK & Ireland-based travel agents, big or small, within the next year. RateHawk already has a solid presence among homeworkers, but it is still expanding into this specific branch of the travel sector.
Historically, RateHawk in the UK has focused on the retail business, which has grown substantially this year, strengthening its presence in the market
The platform also offers a very stable API connection with an amazing offering of hotels, which they expect to grow with more connections being made in the coming year. RateHawk will continue its expansion in both retail and API to become one of the top hotel suppliers in the market within the next 2–3 years.
We also had a chance to talk to Julita’s team, and here is what we learned.

Let’s talk about team bonding. The new office in London has opened recently — is it more about official meetings or perhaps you have some fun meetings, too? Do you have any traditions formed inside the team as it grows?
Team bonding is essential, and we blend work with enjoyment. We’re thrilled about our new office in London Paddington, which serves as a hub for both formal and informal gatherings. The upcoming event is our much-anticipated Christmas Party for the entire team and some of our top partners, set for the end of November in London.
