Grovellings from Bella Towers

April 18th, 2011

Things have been a bit hectic here at Bella Towers of late so profuse apologies for the lack of updates! However, fear not dear reader, let’s get you right back up to speed with this run down of what we’ve been up to of late.

Let’s start with recruitment news. The wonderfully talented Greg Ashley has signed up to Team Bella as a Web and Graphic Designer. Greg came straight in to the side and made an immediate impact with his own unique style of spectacles.

Thanks to Greg, Richard and the rest of the team, we’re currently on a run of 4 pitch wins in a row. This has happened in such a short space of time that the production team are still calculating how many hours of sleep they’ll be losing in the next couple of months.

Among the many web highlights of recent times, we recently launched our biggest e-Commerce site to date. With hundreds of products on offer, Increase Confidence is one of the UK’s largest self confidence websites.

On the print front, the new design team has completed a plethora of property brochures. For a sample of the work, take a look at the interactive brochures for King’s Court and Renaissance Court.

In SEO news, a further 3 clients have joined us this month with another couple in the pipeline.

All in all, it’s been a great couple of months here so a big thank you to all our clients, old and new.

UK web economy ‘worth billions’

October 29th, 2010

Google have commissioned a report into the UK Internet economy which found that it is worth £100bn a year and accounts for 7.2% of the UK’s gross domestic product (GDP).

The Boston Consulting Group say that if the Internet was an economic sector it would be the UK’s fifth largest which would make the sector larger than the construction, transport and utilities industries.

Some 60% of the £100bn a year figure is made up from Internet consumption – the amount that users spend on online shopping and on the cost of their connections and devices to access the web.

The report also suggests that the UK’s Internet economy could potentially be 10% of GDP in the future.

The full report can be downloaded from The Boston Consulting Group’s website.
