Manic Monday Ltd has been with iomart hosting since they started out providing basic web services for local businesses in Ipswich back in 1998 and they;re not saddle sore yet. They've worked side-by-side to ensure Manic Monday has grown at a canter with clients enjoying a safe and secure ride.

One of Manic Monday's biggest clients is Yankee Doodle. Celebrating its 5th birthday this month, the company offers 5500 American products with over one Million individual items in stock. Yankee Doodle is designed to accommodate every Americana need, from Yankee Candles, Radio Flyer Toys, Russ Berrie bears through to a great range of Jelly Belly Beans. They ve grown from using Manic Monday to support an annual online turnover of approximately Ł25,000 to one of Ł2 million p.a. and iomart hosting has been crucial to that growth.

Manic Monday managing director Richard Walkling says: "iomart hosting has helped us expand when we've needed to, suggesting new services even before we ve realised we needed them. They see all the traffic going through our websites and almost second guess us as to what servers and rack space we need. I can't fault them."

The Construction Centre website - launched at the end of 2006 - is set to become the UK's busiest online directory for delivering results on products and people relating to the building industry.

The website boasts a searchable database of over 10,000 product manufacturers and has set a new precedent by adding comprehensive directories, including contact details for more than 50,000 architects, engineers, house builders, tradesmen and contractors.

The website is the first in the UK to collect all of this information in one location. The Construction Centre has been designed for both industry professionals, trade and private individuals looking to embark on self-build projects or research DIY plans for home improvements.

Richard Simmons - Managing Director and an experienced property developer - said: Having been in the construction industry for over 30 years, I have always had to rely on a bookcase of printed indexes to find products and suppliers and so it was clear that there was a huge gap in the online market for this information. Time is valuable and what differentiates The Construction Centre from other similar websites is the clear set of accurate and relevant results we provide every time."
