Sussex Enterprise is launching its latest business directory this month.

The organisation says the 2001/02 edition is bigger and better than ever before with more information to help companies in Sussex do business and sections, outlining the economic development work being undertaken by the organisation across the county.

More than 8,000 companies throughout Sussex are listed both alphabetically and by type.

Member businesses that want to operate via the internet can turn to the web site directory section to gain access to nearly 1,000 web site and email addresses.

Julie Scala, membership and development manager at Sussex Enterprise, said the directory was an indispensable resource for anyone wanting to do business in Sussex. Classifications had been enhanced to make easier to trace potential customers or suppliers.

The directory is valued at £160 but is distributed free of charge to all the organisation's full members. For further information, contact Sussex Enterprise on 0845 6788867.
