The future looks bright for New Mind
27/05/2008
LIVERPOOL-based New Media company New Mind has revealed that its turnover for the first quarter of 2008 was up 100% on the same period last year.
The company’s growth strategy is in full swing and the future looks full of potential - particularly for its tourism solutions. Turnover for the first quarter of this financial year was in excess of £1M and based on this performance, turnover for this financial year is predicted to be over £4M.
Leading the way in cutting edge tourism technology, New Mind has recruited five new members of staff to handle its robust order book. The five new posts are within the company’s Support and Finance departments, at its offices in the Queens Dock Business Centre.
Whilst overseas, New Mind’s office in Romania is in the process of moving to larger premises and plans to double its eight-strong team over the next 12 months. Staff in the Romanian office have been busy working with the UK team on the next generation of the market-leading tourism solution.
New Mind’s acclaimed Destination Management System has now established a major share of the UK tourism market, with installations in Merseyside, Cheshire, Lancashire, Manchester, the North East and most of the South East and South West regions. All of New Mind’s UK tourism customers have renewed their contracts for the following year, with some committing to upgrades for more sophisticated functions.
The New Media company has also been busy exploring opportunities for its tourism software in overseas markets. Discussions are currently taking place with a number of exciting prospects in Europe, Latin America and the Far East.
New Mind has already attended two major tourism exhibitions in Berlin and Milan this year, as well as playing an active role at tourism technology conferences in Innsbruck and Athens.
Managing Director of New Mind, Richard Veal, comments “We are feeling really positive about the future of our tourism solutions. Our international marketing strategy is already generating widespread interest and we now have the infrastructure in place to fulfill our global potential.”
