The Web Usability Partnership is a research organisation specialising in making our clients web sites more effective (more about us on our web site http://www.webusability.co.uk) . We undertake web site testing for Government and private sector organisation websites and we recruit people to help test the sites.

On this occasion we have been commissioned by an agency of the DTI to conduct some research and are recruiting business people to attend 'mini' focus groups (4 participants). The objects of the research is to understand the attititudes of small businesses to business related digital TV programming.

This would involve attending a location in central London and spending approximately 90minutes participating in a discussion group with other business owners on August 30th in the morning.

We will pay respondents £50 for the time involved plus travel expenses (max £10).

We are looking for:

a) pre-start-up/just starting up 'businesses' (less than 3 months old)

b) start-up businesses ( 3months-18months old)

If you fit into any of the above categories and would like to be involved, please contact me to discuss further details. At the same time, it would be useful if you could send me a note saying how old your business is and whether you have employees or not.

Many thanks.

Kind regards
