loquax.co.uk
Loquax was the UK’s first competition portal.
Starting life as a simple Demon homepage, we took an interest in entering (and occasionally winning) competitions and turned it into a community site to help others enjoy the hobby of comping.
Developed and still managed by its founders Jason Dale & Kirsty Darbyshire, we believe Loquax is the UK’s leading competition resource and it’s name is synonymous with online competitions! We remain independent and focussed on providing a quality service for both compers and promoters.
The site officially launched in February 1998. The name “Loquax” (Lo-quacks), our registered trademark, comes from the Latin Loquatious. Loquax was chosen as as a domain name it could be attributed seamlessly to any subject online plus it also because it’s quite memorable.
Our duck logo was introduced in 2004 to add character to the site. The logo was revamped in 2010 to give it more dimension.
The site has grown steadily and organically to include an active community, competition tracker service, daily updates, exclusive user competitions, as well as shopping, bingo, prize games and gaming sections. Our business ventures have also expanded and Loquax Ltd now operates in various other sectors.
