LOCAL BUSINESSWOMAN PUTS
SHEFFIELD ON THE INTERNET

Sheffield businesswoman Wendi Hebb is
hoping to put the city on the map by launching a new Internet
web site called 'Made In Sheffield'.

Wendi, a jewellery designer, aims to use
Shefield's unique brand name to promote the city world-wide to
Internet users.

"Made In Sheffield is a prestigious phrase that's
known all over the world as a mark of quality craftsmanship" said
Wendi. "It’s the perfect address for a website aiming to raise
awareness of Sheffield's products, people and places."

The Made In Sheffield website, will be launched in
September and can be found at www.made-in-sheffield.com. The site
will have its own Cyberstore - a virtual shop selling 'made in Sheffield'
goods - plus an on-line leisure and entertainment magazine and
arts directory.

"It's a unique way for Internet users to find out
what Sheffield has to offer, right from the smallest craftspeople to
the largest steel manufacturer," explained Wendi.

Wendi thought of the Made In Sheffield concept
last February while researching ways to promote her own business,
Jujube Jewellery, on the Internet.

"I realised that my website address would have to
be something more memorable than 'Jujube' because that would be very
difficult to find among the millions of other Internet sites," she said.

Keying in 'Made In Sheffield', Wendi found the
address - www.made-in-sheffield.com - was still for sale and bought
it last May.

She added: "I hope to build on the good work
of initiatives such as Destination Sheffield and Heart and Soul in their
aim to make Sheffield a forward thinking and prosperous city."
