policy, academia and business
experience.
This year a number of new
categories have been included,
so no matter where your
entrepreneurial talent has taken
you, there is a category that

The Great British Entrepreneur
Awards has received messages of

support from the government,
recognising the merits of
entrepreneurial resolve.

up your own business takes a lot
of hard work and determination
– but can be the stuff of dreams.
The Great British Entrepreneur
Awards are an opportunity
to recognise the dedication
and successes of those with an
entrepreneurial spirit and I hope
they will inspire more people
to put their business ideas into
practice.”

EMMEGI OPTIMISES
WEB EXPERIENCE
FOR CUSTOMERS
Machinery specialist Emmegi
has responded to the growth
in the number of fabricators
accessing the web via
smartphones and tablets with
the launch of a dedicated
mobile version of its website at
www.emmegi.com
The website now automatically
recognises the type of device
being used and displays a
simplified version optimised for
the platform and screen size.
The mobile version is a fast and
easy way to access technical and
product information on all of
Emmegi’s aluminium, PVC
and steel machines and has a
link to the main desktop site if
required.

Regular users of the website
with an iOS device or those
who want to be able to access
the information instantly can
even click the ‘add to home’
button and automatically
activate the icon to add
the mobile version to their
homepage.
The Emmegi website (www.
emmegi.com) is a huge and
potentially very valuable
resource for existing and
potential customers with online catalogues, downloadable
product information and a
comprehensive video library
showing the features and
benefits of many of the market
leading machines.

Truemans introduce online ordering
Trade counter Truemans Windows is introducing online ordering to its customers.
Work has started on the online pricing,
ordering and management system, with the
project split into 12 stages. Truemans hopes
to have the first stage – casement windows
– live shortly with a new product to follow
every month.
The simple to use system will let customers
price and order jobs instantly, send
homeowners professional quotes, and see what
profit you’re making, all from a computer,
laptop or tablet 24/7. Truemans MD, Joe
Trueman, believes it will change the way
installers run their business forever:

“Being able to access and manage your
orders all in one place at any time is hugely
beneficial, especially if you spend a lot of time
out on site.
“Not only does the system let you order
any product from us and pay securely online,
you can also use it to help sell to the end user
with professional looking quotes and the
ability to view and print your own marketing
materials.”
You can also get free stuff by accumulating
‘True-Points’ when ordering online to trade in
for prizes later.
