A Colchester businessman has expanded his business to meet customer demand. 
Steve Sleigh, who has run the Colchester franchise for graphic design and printing company Mail Boxes Etc for 15 years, has now launched Webwalrus, a website design business, after a growing number of customers called for the service. 
At a launch event for the company at Amigo’s restaurant, in Colchester, the town’s businesses heard about the services on offer, had a chance to network and hear from social marketing expert Leonardo Wood of LGX Ltd. 
Mr Sleigh said: “The business has been growing, despite the ups and downs of the last few years, and more clients were asking us to do their web designs. 
“The idea is to do the work for low initial fees and monthly payments to support small businesses. I have been working on the idea for six months.” 
The launch event attracted about 35 businesspeople from across the area.
