BUSINESSWOMAN Lorraine Mullins reckons web page designer Jon Thompson went beyond the call of duty to help her firm. Jon, who works for the East Lancashire Chamber of Commerce, was due to help Blackburn telemarketing company Connex go on the Internet recently, after the firm won his services at a recent charity auction.

But Jon sprained his ankle just before the business was due to go online. "I could barely walk and was on painkillers, but I knew how important it was to finish," said Jon, head designer at the Chamber.

Jon battled against the pain to finish the web site bang on time.
