Teesside-based business Internet service provider Onyx Internet has recruited PHIL BECKINSALE to market its latest services.

Mr Beckinsale, who has a degree in computing from Sunderland University, has been appointed marketing executive.

He initially joined Onyx on a 15-week placement after graduating in the summer, and his success during this placement has led to a full-time role within the marketing division.

The Teesside University-funded placement is designed to help graduates learn more about the working environment to help them find their first job.

Mr Beckinsale will be responsible for marketing Wi Fi, the latest addition to Onyx Internet's service provisions.
