“A more sophisticated marketing strategy combined with all of the hard work that we have invested over the past two and a half years is finally bearing fruit. Further, we have just received an impressive new order from Dutch distributor ADL Video: 140 players are to be installed in the headquarters of a major merchant bank in Amsterdam” said David Dalzell, managing director of ONELAN. “We also acquired 60 new clients last year and we plan to engage up to 50 IT resellers to help the company develop into the future” he continued. “Everything just seems to be coming together.”

To date, 50% of the units sold are used in the education sector, examples of which can be seen in Glasgow City Council, which has installed NTBs in the 29 secondary schools under their remit. 20% of the units are used in other local government organisations, such as in Yorkhill hospital near Glasgow, to increase staff awareness of essential professional development courses. The remaining 30% have been sold within the corporate market. ONELAN’s client base currently stands at 140, half of which is in England and Wales, with strong interests in Scotland, The Netherlands and Ireland.
