Fantastic Media has employed two new members of staff to strengthen the digital side of its integrated offering.

After previously working for a small web development agency in Leeds, Ahmed Mahdi has joined Fantastic to work as part of a bigger team and develop his experience and skills. He will be fully involved in building websites for clients and making them into dynamically driven content managed systems.

For the third year in a row Fantastic is continuing its partnership with Huddersfield University as it has employed student, David Ford, on a year’s placement in the digital department where he will work on video and design projects for a broad range of clients.

It has been essential to expand the digital team as this sector of the industry keeps progressing and is becoming increasingly influential, especially with the rise of social networking and developments in the technology behind website builds.

Richard Jones, Head of Digital at Fantastic, said: “The Company keeps growing and gaining more clients so was essential for us to recruit more members to the digital team. Both David and Ahmed bring valuable skills that will be put to good use on digital and web projects.”
