Beckhams boosting business in Potteries

The Beckhams are not the only people benefiting from the increased interest in American soccer, as one Staffordshire web designer will testify.

Trentham-based Jon Allen, Managing Director of business communications consultancy Vesuvius UK, has designed the official website for the Major Soccer League's magazine, which will feature interviews with LA Galaxy's new signing and his fellow players.

Allen said: "It's great to pick up such a prestigious contract, particularly when so many eyes around the world are on Major League Soccer, and hopefully it will lead to more work from over there".

As a football fan it's a great project to be involved with, and at least it shows there are more people than just David Beckham doing well out of his LA Galaxy contract".

The deal marks a busy time for the firm, which has recently moved to new premises at Shelton Enterprise Centre and taken on a graduate to help develop the business.

He said: "We have developed a site-building tool called Wondaweb, which will be promoted here and in the States, which gives people the chance to build a professional website without breaking the bank.

"It's been a hectic time with the recent expansion and move".

Alongside its communications consultancy service, Vesuvius also offers discounted telephony rates for businesses.
