THE team at Teesside’s M Media and Design has been doubled following its merger with web firm Property Webmasters.

The four-strong workforce at MM&D will be bolstered by the arrival of Property Webmasters director Jamie Arthur from Hartlepool, who has now taken up a director’s role at the graphic and web design firm. MM&D has also added web developers Mal Boston and Richard Heseltine, as well as apprentice Nathan Myers.

MM&D director Gavin Hatton said: “Merging with Jamie and Property Webmasters has been a really exciting time for us.

“With the extra demands of Jamie’s global clients we needed to grow our workforce in order to keep up with the business and increase our chances of achieving our company targets.

“Taking on four new team members also means that we are able to complete more projects in much less time while maintaining our current standard of work and developing more services to offer to all our clients.”

The company currently works with Welbeck Wealth Management, the Wooden Spoon charity, McQueen Ltd, Devere Group, the NHS and James Fisher, and is planning further expansion this year to a turnover of £500,000 and beyond.
