DIGITAL marketing company We Love the Web is taking advantage of globalisation and the strong Australian economy to win repeated business Down Under.
The West Yorkshire-based company has a number of clients in Australia including weight loss brand Celebrity Slim, sports nutrition company Redbak and women’s fitness supplement brand Ladybird.
Frank Fenten, managing director of We Love the Web, whose growing company is based in a converted mill in Hebden Bridge, said: “We’ve been building our Australian portfolio for over a year. With quantitative easing our currency is worth 25% less than it was a couple of years ago. We were good value for Australian companies back then so the savings are phenomenal now.”
We Love the Web, which employs nine people and recorded 17% growth last year, works with specialist pet nutrition firm Vetark, and has also worked on behalf of Kelloggs, Coca Cola and Land Rover.

WELL known family-owned York hotel the Mount Royale has opened OXO’s Restaurant on The Mount in a return to the hotel’s traditional family-operated full service dining.
The Oxtoby family have owned and operated the Mount Royale Hotel since 1967 and for many years gained a fine reputation for dining and quality service as OXO’s restaurant. The new OXO’s Restaurant on The Mount is a return to this quality and care serving traditional British and European food with a modern twist.
The Mount Royale Hotel was founded by Richard and Christine Oxtoby in 1967, parents of current director Stuart Oxtoby.
The hotel, near the city’s racecourse, was formerly two private houses built during the reign of William IV (1830 – 1837) and offers 24 bedrooms.
