Futuremedia Learning's Client Base Increases 47% In 2007
LONDON, Dec. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Futuremedia Learning, a division of
Futuremedia plc (Nasdaq: FMDA), a leading e-learning provider and design,
exhibition and events agency, announced today that its client base has increased
47% in 2007. The Company's client list includes ten FTSE 100 companies,
including Unilever, Barclays, AstraZeneca, British Telecom and BAE Systems.
Futuremedia Learning's focus on the education sector has led to a supplier
relationship with one of the UK's leading business process outsourcing (BPO)
companies to help it execute a five year contract worth over $200 million. As a
result of this successful client engagement, Futuremedia Learning has received a
contract with a total value exceeding $300,000.
"Futuremedia Learning's primary goal in 2007 was to grow our business with the
Company's top ten clients and we demonstrated solid progress. Looking ahead, we
plan to expand our client base by entering new geographic regions, including
Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the United States. Additionally, we plan to
increase our market share in a broad range of industry sectors, including
aviation, finance and healthcare. Our clients are increasingly turning to
Futuremedia Learning because of our expertise, execution and attention to
detail," said George O'Leary, CEO of Futuremedia.
Futuremedia's learning platform continues to support the learning and
development strategy for two key clients: Crown Protection Services (CPS) and
British United Provident Association (BUPA). BUPA has extended its contract for
three additional years. Additionally, Futuremedia plc retained its International
Organization for Standardization 9001:2000 (ISO) Quality Management System
certification for the third consecutive year from the SGS Group. ISO is an
internationally recognized standard for quality management and is based on eight
management principles: customer focus, leadership, involvement of people,
process approach, system approach, continual improvement, fact-based decision
making and mutually beneficial supplier relationships.
"Our vision is to be the learning company of choice in the UK. We have achieved
results for our clients through creativity and return on investment. We have
been recognized by the industry and our peers alike as a leader in the field.
For the second consecutive year, Futuremedia Learning was awarded The Public
Sector People Managers' Association e-Human Resources award," said Andrea Miles,
Managing Director of Futuremedia Learning.
