About Us

LocalBiz Limited is a company registered in England and Wales, with its Headquarters in Ilkley in West Yorkshire. It was formed in January 2003, after extensive research into the requirements for an innovative programme to support Work-related Learning and Key Skills.

LocalBiz launched its first product in September 2003, with a pilot in West Yorkshire. "The LocalBiz Project" is now an extremely flexible and practical activity, which helps to develop the enterprise culture throughout the UK. Since its launch it has grown into a full-blown community website, giving students the opportunity to manage a real-life enterprise supporting community activities.

School Web Designs, a division of Localbiz, provides schools - and their students - with an easy-to-build approach to creating and managing their own website, with content under their direct control.

While targetting the education sector, LocalBiz aims to involve every aspect of the community, bringing together all those who contribute to, or are part of, that very special grouping.

The founders of LocalBiz, Alan Drew and Ian Linnegan, have put their energies into creating a very special, yet low cost, internet-based learning environment, which has been possible due their collective expertise in education and training, ICT, and community website management. As a small company, we can be very responsive to particular school needs in relation to how the websites are used.
