A COMPANY in Huddersfield is helping a star of TV’s The Apprentice keep in touch with his fans online.

Jamie Lester, a competitor in the 2010 series of the show, chose Splitpixel Web Design – based at the Media Centre on Northumberland Street – over a string of London agencies to put together his new website.

The budding entrepreneur chose Splitpixel to design his new website after he was impressed by the look of the Huddersfield firm’s own site.

Jamie’s new website – called jamielester.com – has already received thousands of hits and many compliments.

Jamie said: “Having researched many web design companies, Splitpixel are head and shoulders above the rest of the competition – and this includes London agencies!”

Greg Smuk, technical director at Splitpixel, made the initial introduction to Jamie Lester. The team met Jamie when he travelled from London to the firm’s Media Centre office.
