North East dotcom veteran listed in Top 100 UK Internet Figures
29th September 2004
Di Overton is the force behind the Newcastle-Gateshead based, global designer lifestyle e-commerce website www.wherdidyoubuythat.com. She has been nominated to attend "An Internet Decade", an event to recognise the contribution of 100 individuals for their input and influence on the development and growth of e-commerce and the internet in the UK over the last 10 years.
The exclusive champagne reception, to be held at St Martin's Lane hotel, Covent Garden, London, on Thursday 7th October, is co-hosted by NOP World and E-consultancy and there will be addresses from: Patricia Hewitt, Secretary of State for the DTI; Brent Hoberman, lastminute.com; David Docherty, YooMedia; and father of the internet Sir Tim Berners-Lee, W3C.
Requests for nominations were sent to E-consultancy's registered user base of over 22,000 online marketing and e-commerce professionals representing leading figures within the UK internet community. Nominations were also sought from a further 100 industry opinion formers. NOP World and E-consultancy then reviewed the nominations based on their number, quality and relevancy to create the final invite list.
NOP World is one of the largest business-to-business research agencies in Europe and a top-ten market research power worldwide. NOP World provides best-in-field research design, methodologies and analytics for qualitative, quantitative, ethnographic, omnibus and online services.
Howard Barber, Associate Director at NOP World, says; "The event is designed to be a celebration of the internet, thanking those that have made a substantial commitment, valuable contribution or a significant difference to the industry."
E-consultancy publishes research, and runs events, on best practice online marketing and e-commerce in the UK. Founded in 1999, E-consultancy has over 22,000 registered users and subscribers from leading internet agencies and in-house e-commerce and marketing teams.
Ashley Friedlein, CEO of E-consultancy, explained why the 'Internet Decade' is not your usual conference or award event: "The guest list for the Internet Decade is limited to 100 and attendees will be invited following nation-wide industry nominations. So you will only attend the event if the industry believes you have made a significant contribution to the internet."
Di Overton said "It's a great honour to be nominated by your peers like this and I am very grateful to them all. I can only think they've picked me because of bloody-minded tenacity! When we launched wdybt.com back in xxxx the dotcom bubble burst shortly afterwards. We just clung on and kept plugging away."
"It was tough going, but we saw it through by sticking to our belief in quality products, innovative design and always trying to provide great customer service."
"I think we were also helped greatly by the huge growth in design and makeover TV shows and magazines during the period. This created a growing public demand for innovative and beautiful design products for home and garden."
"Now wheredidyoubuythat.com get millions of hits from all round the world and the business is growing steadily. So we must be doing something right."
Di is also a director of @1 Loyalty Programmes which owns and operate wheredidyoubuythat.com. Gateshead-based @1 is an integrated marketing services company providing loyalty marketing solutions to clients like Baxi Potterton, ICI Dulux and Mercedes.
