Quba New Media

Sheffield investment promotion agency, Sheffield First for Investment, has been deemed a 'world-leader' in a global benchmarking exercise published recently of the world's best performing investment promotion agencies helped by its new Quba-designed website.

Quba Director Matt Jones said of Quba's assistance
"This is great news for Sheffield and a credit to the dedication and hard work of the team at SF4I. Quba are delighted with recognition received for the website in contributing to achieving this accolade."

The report identified improvement in the Sheffield agency's e-communications performance as the key reason why Sheffield First for Investment had reached this esteemed position. Created by Quba, the website www.makeitinsheffield.com was commended for its 'clean and uncluttered' design, 'good professional image' and ease-of-use.

The benchmarking programme, organised by the specialised economic consultancy GDP Global Development, measures the Government funded agencies' abilities in promoting their respective countries, cities and regions to foreign investors.

However, it was Sheffield that topped the ranking internationally,

Just one IPA achieved a world leading level of performance in 2006. The world leading Investment Promotion Agency is Sheffield First for Investment.
