E3Net Limited has become the latest information technology (IT) support firm to set up a North-East satellite office with help from regional development agency One NorthEast.

E3Net specialises in Internet service provision and web solutions, offering its services across the UK and Europe from offices in London and now Newcastle.

The company's new operation on North Tyneside will ultimately include 11 field consultants, in-house software developers, project managers, sales and administrative staff who will seek to expand the business in the North-East as well as continuing to serve existing European clients.

One NorthEast's strategic investment team was able to offer E3Net help and advice on suitable premises before the company settled on its new office at Royal Quays.

Ward Hadaway, Project North East and the E-commerce Foundation were also involved in the company's application for funding from the North-East Investment Fund.

Since its inception in 1999, E3Net has tackled the global IT arena, providing innovative IT solutions to private and public sector clients.

Through its knowledge and understanding of the marketplace, E3Net is ideally placed to provide cost-effective and comprehensive solutions for every computer-based requirement.

Research and development has enabled the company to offer clients competitively packaged products such as Deskant, an integrated web office to keep people on the move in contact with their businesses, and SecurecNorth-Eas
