After 4 successful years of helping over 2000 businesses to make smarter use of technology, the Sussex e-Partnership Programme of support and advice came to a close on 31st March 2008.

It’s hard to believe now but in 2003 over 80% of Sussex did NOT even have access to broadband and genuine e- business was a twinkle in the eye of a dial-up line. Fast forward to 2008 and over 70% of Sussex businesses are now using broadband and internet technologies to improve customer service, increase sales and develop new products and markets.

Broadband and internet technologies have had a huge impact on creating a level playing field for small businesses and the Sussex e-Partnership (formerly Broadband East Sussex and Connecting West Sussex) has relished the opportunity to support so many Sussex businesses who see the potential benefits.

For e-business support after March 31st 2008 please contact Business Link Sussex on 0845 600 9 006.
