E-COMMERCE AWARD
LOCAL BUSINESS WINS
E-COMMERCE AWARD
Left-Handed specialist Anything Left-Handed Ltd, based in
Belmont, Surrey, has won the London Regional Finals of the UK
E-Commerce Awards 2002, for its web business at /. Organised by the
Government initiative 'UK online for business', the
Awards are now in their fourth year and are designed to recognise
and reward those organisations that have demonstrated excellence
through the use of the Internet.
Anything Left-Handed have 8 staff in their offices and warehouse
in Belmont, which is their base for processing orders and sending
left-handed products to most of the countries around the world. Two
of the Directors, Keith Milsom and Denis Zekic proudly accepted
their award and the £2,000 prize on 20th June at the awards
ceremony held at The Globe Theatre, London. Their website was the
winner in the Micro-Business category, for businesses with less
than 10 staff, and recognised the huge impact that the Internet has
had on the company's already well-established business.
The website was designed and produced entirely in-house and acts
as a portal for the largest resource of information on
left-handedness on the Internet. The site utilises Actinic software
as a platform for the e-commerce operation, enabling visitors to
purchase on-line from a huge range of over 200 specially designed
left-handed products.
From its small beginnings 35 years ago as a retail shop in
London's West End, Anything Left-Handed has evolved into a
mail order and internet retailer as well as a global wholesaler of
left-handed items to other companies, mainly due to its web site
which was launched only a year ago. As Keith Milsom comments,
our web site has allowed us to communicate with potential
customers and market our business worldwide at very little cost,
making international development possible.
Following on from their success at the Regional E-commerce
Awards, Anything Left-Handed now moves forward to the National
Finals on 3rd July at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London.

Many left-handers need to try out the products to realise
how much they will benefit from them, so we are visiting Bluewater
to give people that opportunity. Many of our most loyal customers
thought they had adapted quite well to right hand versions until
they came to us, because only through using a well designed
left-handed implement can you appreciate how much easier and more
comfortable it is to use.

advice for children, and a FREE Handwriting Factsheet will be
