10 Years old, new brand, new web site!

Welcome to our new brand and web site. After 10 years of trading and 2 consecutive years of metoric growth it seemed a great time to update our image!
What a roller coaster ride its been. I've ridden the boom and the bust, then witnessed the incredible growth of online advertising from £0 to over £3.5 billion per year in the UK alone (IAB Statistics) and have seen hundreds of magazines fall away and thousands of new web sites launch in our sectors.
I remember using Google for the first time and saying "Wow that search only took .xxxx of a second AMAZING!", who would have thought that they'd rule the web as they do today. I've enjoyed (nearly) every single minute of it. If you want to hear about the big fish that got away, ask me why our sale to Chris DeWolfe of MySpace.com fell through before anyone knew what MySpace was!
I love learning about new stuff and as everyone in at NC HQ knows, so my motto is "Everyday is a School day!", which is what makes our work so interesting and exciting.
I started this business in 1999, in a cold dark empty office, with an idea for tech news web site, which I'm pleased to say is now one of the UK's leading tech news resources attracting nearly 500,000 unique visitors per month. In addition, the business has continued to grow by working with and representing some of the webs leading technology and business web sites. As a result, we've carried advertising from many of the world leading blue chip advertisers, so you are in good company.
Last year Net Communities grew by 45%, with a growth forcast of 65% expected this year (in a down turned market).
I thank all our loyal clients, everyone who has ever done business with Net Communities all our previous employee's and our investors. We would not be here today without your support.
Now I'm looking forward to the the coming years, which will most certainly be our best yet!
