One lucky Furness-based business will receive a free website including support for 12 months courtesy of Web District.

Web District is a newly-formed, Barrow-based digital design agency, with a wealth of experience in developing premium websites for local businesses.

Directors Callum Ramsay and Jay Crowe are eager to start 2021 with a bang. They said: “We understand what this prize could mean for a small business which is either starting up or looking to grow, and for this reason we have decided to do our bit and offer such an amazing opportunity.

“We do not know what is ahead of us in these uncertain times and having that online presence could ensure the business can continue to trade, securing the jobs of the employees and their future.

“We have a wealth of talent in the local area and we think it’s really important, now more than ever, for businesses to support one another."

Applications are being accepted until February 1, with businesses being invited to explain why they would benefit from the support.

Entry details can be found at www.web-district.co.uk/competition or on the Web District Facebook and Instagram pages.

Applicants must be based in the Furness area and require a website to support their business.
