Description: News distribution service for government
and public sector


The Business Description
Selected by HM Cabinet Office and COI, Wired-GOV has been the UK’s No. 1 email alerting service for official government and public sector news since 2001. All official announcements and new releases from more than 150 leading Government departments and agencies are distributed immediately through the Wired-GOV system to all desktops across the Government, Public Sector, national media and professional communities.

The Management Team
The Business was founded by Stephen Waldron in 2001, who currently runs the business with the support of a high quality operating team. With over 20 years experience in publishing to the Government and Public Sector markets, the Wired-GOV management team has a wealth of knowledge and expertise in all government verticals from Central and Local Government to Health, Education and the increasingly important Third Sector. As a ‘Trusted Third Party’ channel, delivering a service of genuine value to the pan-governmental audience, Wired-GOV is uniquely positioned to advise their private sector sponsors and optimise ROI on all marketing campaigns.

Current Business Performance
The success of the Wired-GOV website and email alerting service is entirely dependent on continual subscriber growth across public sector, the media and professional markets. Having implemented significant upgrades and modifications in June 2009, their weekly subscription levels have increased by 400%.
