Thinking Virtual ramps up for E-Business Week

The 8th – 12th October 2001 is e-business week (more information can be found at www.ukonlineforbusiness.gov.uk/ebw).

This is a government sponsored initiative to help smaller businesses develop their Internet presence. During the week there are events going on nationally - a list of the events can be found on their web site.

“There are lots of opportunities for smaller companies to find out information about the how’s and why’s of the Internet” said Francis Jeffcock, Development director of Thinking Virtual.

“Whilst it must be remembered that the Internet is not the Do All and End All of business, it is going to have an important effect on all businesses in the future and the e-business week is an excellent opportunity for business owners and operators to find our more about how it is going to affect them, how they can take advantage of it and how to make sure that any investments that they make in the Internet are sound.

Of course some companies will not be able find the time to attend these events but may find it beneficial to go to the UK Online website (www.ukonlineforbusiness.gov.uk) which has lots of easily digested information.

They can also speak to their local Business Chamber, Business Link or a local consultancy - as most offer an initial consultation for free."
