Just 5 months after the launch of their new company website, Darwen Diesels has seen a tenfold increase in their customer base.

Their Purchasing Manager Dave Prescott, who we worked closely with when building their website, said:

"In this fast-moving world of computer technology, it was important for Darwen Diesels to 'move with the times', but as with many other small businesses, we were extremely apprehensive about whether or not it would be a sound financial investment.  We therefore enlisted the help of the dedicated and professional web design team at the East Lancashire Chamber of Commerce, who very kindly advised us of the financial support available from the Manufacturing Institute.  They even sorted out all the paperwork for us!

"Our customer base has increased tenfold as a direct result of our fabulous new website, a project which was part-funded by the Manufacturing Institute.   The results have by far exceeded the expectations of everyone at Darwen Diesels.   We would definitely encourage other small manufacturing businesses to invest in a professionally designed website to help attract new customers and give them a competitive edge."

Funding is still available from the Manufacturing Institute, but it won't last forever!  If you're a local manufacturer based and would like to find out whether or not you're eligible for financial support towards the design and development of a new website, please telephone Debbi Dawson or Roger Edworthy on 01254 356400.
