Building on online base

0 Comments | Sentinel, The; Stoke-on-Trent (UK), Nov 23, 2009

AN EXPANDED online business network goes live today.

Construction sector network and business support service Build- up North Staffordshire was launched in 2007 by Stokeon-Trent City Council. Since then more than 500 suppliers have signed up, while 48 developers have committed to use the network to find contractors.

Now the scheme has been extended and the construction section has been re-branded as Work Box with two other online resources being created. Eco Net will be for the low carbon sector, which includes the development of emissionreducing products and renewable energy. And Great Minds will be a network and support service for creative sector firms such as web developers, graphic artists, film-makers and designers.
