A FAST expanding new technology firm is set to widen its web!

Commercial Net Works has grown to employ more than 25 people since it was set up with one telephone and one PC six months ago. It specialises in establishing names for companies on the internet and making sure they are listed with the major search engines.

The firm, based at the Lomeshaye Business Village, Nelson, was founded by Bob McCallum and Anthony Ascroft, who had previously worked together for an internet firm in Manchester.

"We have put in a lot of hard work and it is all clicking together nicely now," said sales manager Jeff Everitt.

Clients now include BT, British Airways and AXA insurance. The firm's latest registration task was for Harrods. It is now planning to open new offices in Burnley and Blackburn and aims to have 100 staff by January.
