WebBox was born from an ambition to provide relentlessly
responsive service and the dream started in a spare bedroom during the middle
of a financial crisis in 2008 as our founder Will Roberts set about creating an
agency that was focused on users and clients. We have come a long way since our
first project to having our headquarters in Cardiff and working with clients
around the world and delivering industry-leading projects and ambitious
campaigns.
We have won business through Sell2Wales which has helped us to
broaden our portfolio and grow as a company. For example, we have gained work
for St Mary’s Pharmaceutical Unit, part of Cardiff and the Vale University
Health Board, which has expanded our portfolio within the health industry.
As organisations and individuals, we are
increasingly dependent on information technology, websites and software in our
daily activities. However, any restriction on the availability of a language
within technology can affect how we use it during these daily activities. For
Wales, this means that websites and applications should provide equal support
for both Welsh and English, giving users the choice to use their preferred
language. Our track record with developing bilingual websites stands us in
great stead when meeting potential clients and tendering for new business.
One of the biggest challenges we have faced has
been getting in front of the right types of businesses. The tenders that we are
granted access to through Sell2Wales have allowed us to pitch for, and gain,
local business. It’s great to keep the work within Wales and this has also
helped us to get in front of more of the right businesses.
We also would recommend the Business Wales
training events, which have offered invaluable practical advice from
experienced professionals.
