Unemployed Professionals Set Up A Group to Support Businesses

I have always said it that if people were to forget the greed and ego's in a recession then there will be some hope of small businesses surrving in this country and low and behold A Group of Professionals who were on a back to work allowance are doing just that, http://www.W3 Projects.org have formed a group to support people in business here in Ireland with web services, social media,networking,business training,social media training, marketing, you name it they are doing it, and the reason they are doing it and doing it well is because they all have something to offer in each of the areas so they put their heads together and hey presto they are flying it and so are the businesses that they are helping.

The W3 Project was formed by individuals who had attended a course to learn up skills in other areas of business when they realised that between all of them they had unreal services to offer as one group rather than setting up on their own.
