New Doncaster Company Tops E-Commerce Awards

The new Doncaster-based field marketing company, Intelligent Marketing Solutions (IMS), is highly commended in the record-breaking regional finals of the E-Commerce Awards.  

Competing for the £8,000 prize, IMS was selected as a finalist from a record 300 entries – double the previous year’s entries - in the Yorkshire and Humber region.

The E-Commerce Awards are open to any organisation with fewer than 250 employees and celebrate and reward organisations who are successfully using e-commerce, new technologies or the Internet to improve their business.

Following the awards ceremony held at The Parsonage Country House Hotel near York, Sales and Marketing Director Laura Holden said:

“This is great news for IMS and we are very proud to have been recognised in these very competitive awards.  

“IMS is a totally internet-based company which started up with three friends working from home only 11 months ago.  Now we have over 1200 people in our national field team and some very exciting campaigns planned with local and national blue chip companies. We are looking to move to new offices in the area very soon."

“To be recognised in these very prestigious awards gives us a real boost and signals that we’re on the right tracks.”
