Easy Group

In the last few years the company has started to franchise the businesses to expand, and cut down costs. Its head office is in Mayfair, City of Westminster, London, although it is registered in Jersey.
Some EasyGroup subsidiaries have been more successful than others - the most successful division being EasyJet.

Famous quotes containing the words easy and/or group:
“The country needs and, unless I mistake its temper, the country demands bold, persistent experimentation. It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something. The millions who are in want will not stand idly by silently forever while the things to satisfy their needs are within easy reach.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“The trouble with tea is that originally it was quite a good drink. So a group of the most eminent British scientists put their heads together, and made complicated biological experiments to find a way of spoiling it. To the eternal glory of British science their labour bore fruit.”
—George Mikes (b. 1912)
