The Press has announced that PureNet – our Agency51 parent company – is a finalist in the Large Business category in this year’s BusinessIQ Awards.
As a finalist, the team is in good company, alongside the most innovative and thriving businesses in York. But beyond singling out PureNet – and Agency51 – as ecommerce leaders in the region and across the country, it marks a full-circle moment for the business that celebrates twenty years of success this year.
Twenty years of innovation
Twenty years ago, PureNet was founded with the purpose of helping organisations and businesses grow through better ecommerce solutions – solutions that offer functionality and beauty. For those two decades, this has run through everything we do at both PureNet and Agency51.
Since then, the team has worked with partners across the region and the country – from Autohorn to York Gin, Krispy Kreme to Pets at Home – to create unrivalled ecommerce offerings and unforgettable digital marketing.
From harnessing AI-powered technologies to crafting bespoke B2B solutions, the team continues to design, build and support exceptional ecommerce websites, customer portals and integrated digital platforms that focus on improving customer engagement, streamlining operations and driving revenue growth – earning PureNet, and our team, that finalist position.
The award
In 2007, that fledgling PureNet was called up to collect the New Business of the Year award, it’s an achievement that makes this year’s recognition as a finalist particularly fitting, almost two decades later.
The category recognises outstanding organisations, exceptional financial returns, strong growth and innovation strategies, plus market prowess in their sectors. It celebrates companies throughout the York district who are putting their region on the map by boosting the economy while making a positive contribution to the local community.
While we collaborate with clients from across the UK and beyond, we’re proud of our York roots and to have our HQ still in that very hometown.
So, what’s next?
Well, we’ll all be keeping our fingers crossed until the award ceremony in York on November 26th. But apart from that? We’ll still be helping our clients grow through innovative ecommerce solutions and dynamic digital marketing. Watch this space.
