TownTalk added another award to its trophy cabinet when it joined
nine other finalists in HSBCs prestigious 'Start-Up Stars' Awards at the Savoy Hotel.
John Rendall, Head of Business Banking at HSBC, said: "These awards have captured
the imagination of Start-Up's throughout the UK. The awards
panel has received many outstanding examples of successful
projects that have been established through their creators'
vision and courage. We congratulate TownTalk UK on making the final 10."
The judging panel, which includes representatives from the Confederation
of British Industry and British Chamber of Commerce, will reveal its
decision at a gala dinner at London's Savoy Hotel before an audience of more than 250 guests.
TownTalk will also receive free consultancy and software package
worth £3,000, courtesy of IRPC and Sage, for being named as a national finalist.
The TownTalk network now comprises almost 100 town centre web sites, each
helping their respective towns to attract shoppers and visitors back into urban centres.
