He will initially take time off before looking at new ventures and
involvement with other companies. "I have some ideas for new ventures
and will be networking. It probably won't be shopping," said Wilkinson.
"It could very well be internet-based with a lot more focus on
generating revenue early on."
Dorothea Arndt, head of marketing at Kelkoo, said: "For some time now
Philip has been keen to pursue entrepreneurial ventures, and now seems
to be a good time to do that. He will continue to work on projects, such
as developing new products and taking Kelkoo into new markets."
She added that Wilkinson's main role had been to bring together the best
features from all the sites that merged into Kelkoo last year, a project
that had now ended.
