What is Made In Sheffield Dot Com?

Made In Sheffield Dot Com was founded in 1996 specifically to

• Promote Sheffield world wide on the Internet.
• Market products, companies and services world wide
  through the Internet and the media

• Stimulate the city’s commercial and cultural regeneration
  through e-commerce

Our web site takes the world famous trademark ‘Made In Sheffield’
as a web address to create a memorable "one stop shop" for
information on people, places, products and services that
are ‘Made in Sheffield’.

The phrase ‘Made in Sheffield’ is internationally recognised
as a symbol of manufacturing excellence and is particularly
associated with the city’s cutlery industry. We aim to prepare
Sheffield for global trading into the 21st century by encouraging
the early adoption of electronic commerce through a web site
bearing this prestigious name.

Our participation in 1997’s e-Christmas project – a European retail
web site selling Christmas gifts – revealed a strong demand for
Sheffield made products on the Internet, especially in the US.
We also hope to offer a wealth of local employment opportunities
for our IT, industrial, manufacturing and cultural sectors.

The Made In Sheffield Dot Com aims to

• Keep it simple – by using one memorable web address to
  market our city world wide and to create a web presence
  that reflects Sheffield’s unique personality

• Keep it local – by offering a wealth of information and
  local knowledge through our regularly updated web site

• Keep it human – visit our Internet Gallery in the
  ‘real world’ where our friendly staff are happy to
  provide jargon-free advice about how to get started
  on the Internet

Made In Sheffield Dot Com – a web site greater than the sum of its parts
