It promotes 1,500 acres containing more than five million squarefeet to a global audience and provides on-the-spot information onindividual plots of land and buildings in Staffordshire worth atleast pounds 450 million simply by typing inwww.instaffs.co.uk.Miss Roberts won the 1998 "Midlands Business -- The NextGeneration" award for creating the United Kingdom's first fullyinteractive commercial property database.So far the website has been a major success and has helped raisethe awareness of Staffordshire among people who want to expand orrelocate their businesses. InStaffs (UK) is the county's inwardinvestment agency."It is imperative that we take every opportunity to tell the worldabout Staffordshire and what it has to offer," said Miss Roberts."Attracting inward investment is a tough task at the best of times.It is, therefore, essential to use the bestinstruments available tocreate greater awareness of the wealth of information."We are planning a way in which property agents can view a sitefrom their computer screens and choose exactly where they want tolook - just like a virtual reality game."
