A HIGH tech Nelson company is ditching the traditional Christmas post and spreading some festive joy electronically.

Digital design company Door4, based in the Pendle Innovation Centre, has created its very own electronic Christmas cards which are set to be e-mailed across the globe.

Staff at Door4 have been busy getting their cards off the ground since late October and are now ready for them to be sent out.

Leon Calverley, managing director, said: "Businesses like them because they are much cheaper than printing and posting traditional cards and they can send them out in seconds to all their contacts."
