An innovative technology company helping firms use social and mobile media was launched with help from Taylors Solicitors.

Leading marketing professional and former 2ergo sales director, Damian Hanson teamed up with David Hague to set up Rossendale-based One iota.

Following the increasing use of the internet and social media through mobile devices the entrepreneurial duo set up One iota to help retailers manage their mobile internet sites and engage with consumers using sites such as Facebook.

One iota enlisted the services of Blackburn-based Taylors to act on their behalf in the establishment of the new business venture and helped with the legal foundations of the business including shareholder arrangements.

Damian said: “Taylors were a name I had heard of and a company that had been recommended to me. In the beginning Taylors gave me advice and guidance on the different directions I had to consider in order to get the company structured correctly, their help has been invaluable as the business has grown.”

Elaine Hurn, Managing Partner at Taylors said: “We were delighted to work with and support One iota on this new business venture. We really enjoy working with new businesses. One iota is an incredibly innovative and interesting company and we have enjoyed taking the time to understand this business, its industry and legal needs.

Damian said: “Retailers need to ensure that consumers have a good experience of their brand and that all products and services are displayed to consumers in a mobile optimised manner. One iota work with clients to create secure, fully integrated and transactional m-commerce solutions.

“As well as helping our clients to develop a mobile optimised web presence we are encouraging them to take their shop to their customers and allow them to buy from themselves on the social sites they are engaged on such as Facebook,” added Damian.

Elaine added: “Damian and David’s industry experience and brilliant previous track record stand them in good stead and I am in no doubt that they have the sound platform needed to go on and develop One iota over the coming years.”.
