QiQ Communications has received support from NSW Trade and Investment to help build the business in USA and UK markets over the next year.

The funding was awarded to the Central Coast business, which enables businesses and individuals to send mail and documents via 30 worldwide locations through a simple web interface, under the department’s Global Growth program.

QiQ also offers its business customers an API, which enables them to automate their letter generation.

Managing Director Peter Harris said the NSW Trade and Investment grant has enabled QiQ to grow its hybrid mail activities internationally.

“The Global Growth program support is very welcome in bringing forward marketing activities in other countries. We are keen to increase awareness of our services in the USA and UK marketplace and this support is going to assist us in meeting this goal,” Mr Harris explained.

This grant comes at an exciting time for QiQ Communications, which has just been named a finalist in the Newcastle Port Corporation Hunter Central Coast Export Awards. The award winner will be announced at a gala dinner on Friday (12 August).

“Being named a finalist in the region’s export awards shows QiQ Communications has what it takes to build on our success and expand into bigger markets,” Mr Harris added.

QiQ had benefited from the Global Growth program with not only financial assistance, but also through the strategic planning, market selection and professional guidance provided by Sharon Foster, the NSW Trade and Investment Export Adviser for the Central Coast.

“The Global Growth program is ideal for companies that are innovative and have proven export potential, like QiQ Communications,” Ms Foster said.

Boutique internet consultancy QiQ Communications comprises Docsaway, a PDF-based solution to deliver printed mail, and L-Mail, an HTML-based solution providing the necessary tools to help turn an email into a letter.
