WEB COMPANIES CLICK WITH THE NORTH
SOME parts of northern England have a greater concentration of e- commerce businesses than anywhere else in the UK, according to a report.
A study by internet giant eBay of “digital densities” found that Greater Manchester, Lancashire and West Yorkshire were well ahead of London. Sarah Calcott of eBay said: “Our research shows that technology is opening up tremendous opportunities for small businesses across the UK, with digital clusters spread across the country, particularly in the North- west and Yorkshire.”
