“The Internet has changed the way we do business. Yet so many of us have got so much more to learn about how the Internet can be a a greater passport to prosperity for so many small businesses. In a high-tec area like West Berkshire, there is enormous potential for greater use of the Internet to support businesses of all sizes. Greater understanding of the Internet and training for people of all ages in businesses of all sizes, is vital.”
