Barnard Castle based Britnett Web Services
was founded in 1999, specialising in internet-based solutions for SMEs and
website design for business. It now has eight full time staff. Since its
establishment the company has constantly innovated to stay ahead of a rapidly
developing and evolving market sector. Britnetts commercial advantage over
competitors is its own Britnett-Carver website platform which is a highly
flexible Content Management System which enables the website owner to edit their
own website at the click of a mouse. Websites include a full e-commerce
capability as standard and are set up on a dedicated server. Britnett has
also developed Britnett-BizSub, Search Engine Optimisation and Service - a
service that registers websites with all of the major search engines so
potential customers are only ever a click away for their clients. All of this
is fronted by a team of Britnett Consultants who operate across the UK - these
website consultants are licensed to sell Carver & BizSub locally - so
Britnetts clients have the benefit of local support. These
consultants provide first line support and assist clients in the process
of building their site and developing their online presence. The company now
consists of a head office in Barnard Castle where it operates a seven person
support team with 21 franchisees working across the UK. Each franchisee pays a
one-off investment cost and then for each website they develop for their clients
they charge an initial set-up fee, followed by a monthly retainer for the
support package. The set-up fee and a percentage of the monthly charge go to
Britnett and the remainder is retained by the franchisee. This is part of a
growth strategy which sees Britnett gain national coverage without the cost of
expanding its small team in Barnard Castle. The recession has seen Britnett
continue with its ambitious expansion plans through this franchising
model. Britnett Web Services has established its sixth franchise this year as
it pushes on with plans to take on 80 consultants by the end of the year. The
company has expanded into areas including Essex and Bedfordshire, taking its
total number of UK franchises to 21. The company says: Our growth is due to
more and more small and medium sized enterprises are realising the need to have
an online presence, especially in the current climate. Our business model allows
us to recruit franchisees across the country who are already specialists in
their field and who can offer the best level of service on a local level while
taking full advantage of the unique web products Britnett supplies.

UK
North-East-based Britnett Web Services is celebrating the
expansion of its operation with the addition of six new franchises across the UK
since the start of 2009. The six franchises are part of Britnetts ambitious
growth plans to sign-up an additional 80 new consultants before the end of the

Scarborough and Bedfordshire and as a result businesses in the area will be able
to benefit from access to a range of cost effective web design and search engine
optimisation solutions designed to help SMEs drive sales online.
Comments Paul Harper, Managing Director of Britnett Web Services: Our
growth is down to the fact that more and more SMEs are realising the need to
have an online presence, especially in the current climate. There is a
significant rise in online consumers and even smaller businesses need to have a
website from which they can sell their products or services if they want to
maximise their profit and tap into this growing market.
Britnett Web
Services was launched in 1999 by Paul Harper, who has over 15 years
experience in the digital industry. The company quickly grew from offering
web site design to developing a range of web products, including Britnett
BizSub, one of the best search engine optimisation services available on the
market and Britnett-Carver, a content management software which allows clients
to manage and update their own websites.
The company now consists of a
head office in Barnard Castle where it operates a seven person support team with
21 franchisees working across the UK. Each franchisee pays a one-off investment
cost and then for each website they develop for their clients they charge an
initial set-up fee, followed by a monthly retainer for the support package. Only
the set-up fee and a small percentage of the monthly charge go to Britnett and
the remainder is retained by the franchisee.
Comments Jorge Ferreira,
who joined as a franchisee in February (2009) of this year: The web design
products which Britnett offer are without a doubt the best I used. Britnett
Carver is a fantastic piece of software which allows clients to easily maintain
and update their own sites and Britnett BizSub is an exceptional search engine
optimisation service which is vital for clients to ensure they reach as wide an
online customer-base as possible. The team at head office are some of the best
designers and IT professionals Ive worked with in the industry and are
constantly updating the software to ensure that our clients receive the very
latest web technology and that we stay ahead of our
competitors.
Concludes Paul Harper: Our business model allows us to
recruit franchisees across the country who are already specialists in their
field and who can offer the best level of
service on a local level while taking full advantage of the unique web products
Britnett supplies as well as it 24-hour support service.
