gets online and ready for business
May 31st, 2002
Online Marketing agency Neutralize (*\*) is pleased to announce the formation of their official partnership with 'UK online for business', the DTI-led initiative which helps UK businesses get the most from technology.
Lucy Cokes, Neutralize's Managing Director said "Businesses in the South West, and Cornwall in particular, have always shown entrepreneurial flair in getting around the difficulties posed by the unique geography of the area. We're delighted to partner with UK online for business in order to show traditional companies the real business benefits that new technology can offer".
Mike Robertson, UK online for business adviser in Cornwall, commented: "By working with our partners such as Neutralize, UK online for business can work with local experts to encourage and help even more local small and medium sized businesses to get online. Businesses are able to find out about the range of information and technology communications in a practical and impartial way, as well as meet and talk to local suppliers."
As an interactive and forward thinking company, Neutralize (*\*) provides marketing resources and expertise for companies with an online presence. Through their work with UK online for business and Business Link, they have been able to make this knowledge readily available to small and medium sized businesses across the South West.
Lucy, has given a series of seminars and presentations entitled "How to Review Your Website" and "Optimising your Website", assisting over 200 small and medium businesses in gaining understanding of how to get the maximum business benefits from their existing websites.
This was itself an extension of last February's "Website Review Initiative" which saw Neutralize (*\*) offering top-level Internet consultancy to around 40 small businesses, in conjunction with Business Link.
