UK Tights Is Featured On The BBC

Yesterday, if you’d visited our site, you may have encountered an error. We were getting over 200 clicks per second on our site at about 1pm. Why this avalanche of clicks, you ask? UK Tights was on BBC Breakfast, that’s why! The British Broadcasting Corporation, or “The Beeb” as we affectionately call it, paid us a visit. They were good enough to come around to our premises on Wednesday and film an interview with Dawn. The interview was broadcast at 6am and repeated every hour right up until the 6 o’clock News last night.

UK Tights, The BBC, And The Boston Consulting Group

The interview was done because Google has recently commissioned a report from the Boston Consulting Group. It was about the effects of the internet on UK businesses. Several of our team went down to London to help with the BCG report. BCG is a huge business consulting and strategy firm that do really substantial studies for industry. After we went down, Google took an interest in us and our story. They interviewed most of our team at a later date. They wanted to get a real idea of how the internet was helping us grow our business.

But There Is More Good News Too

Matt Brittin, Chief Executive of Google UK, talked about us on the Radio 5 Podcast, Wake Up To Money. That was the 28th October 2010 episode, if you want to delve into the archives. If you’d like to see more of this news segment, you can. Just watch the exact segment on Breakfast. UK Tights and the BBC was  a great collab, and we hope to help them out again in the future. We’d also love to participate in  few more studies, and we’re always keeping up with new business trends. And we are very glad to see journalists taking a keen interest in the future of British business. We are a proud British business, but there are hundreds more just like us that deserve recognition too.
