We have a prime opportunity to strengthen our brand, which is already well respected in the marketplace and focus our attention on leveraging our significant geographic presence and support capabilities. The market is developing at breakneck speed and with a client base including Caterpillar, Dell Computers, Honeywell and Ericsson, combined with a highly experienced executive team in place, we have the track record to secure ever-increasing business opportunities from both western companies expanding their operations into Asia Pacific and Asia Pacific multi-nationals looking to expand into the UK and Europe."
