WEB solutions company PureNet is netting pure profits.

Launched last November to offer something fresh and "pure" to companies everywhere, PureNet Solutions developed and introduced its PureClarity Framework of integrated services and products. The idea was to set up corporate websites that could be managed and blossom alongside complementary e-commerce platforms. And it boomed.

Now the York team, led by managing director Dr Paul Gibson, is pitching for both the New Business Of The Year and Growth Business Of The Year titles in The Press Business Awards 2007. From its base in the York Science Park's IT centre, PureNet has a staff of seven coping with a swelling order book, initially with big orders from Parker Merchanting and Translate4Me.

A first year's sales target of £84,000 was blown away and a new figure of £107,000 was pencilled in, but, by April, orders totalled just under £118,000.

In July, after just over six months, orders totalled £211,000 with potential sales of a further £117,000 in the pipeline.

A revised sales target figure now stands at a little more than £280,000, although there is a quiet confidence that even this could be broken. A three-year plan projects a turnover of just under £600,000 next year and the breaking of the £1 million barrier by 2009.
