We have worked again with XP Power to produce a video highlighting the organisation’s interim financial results and, yet again, it’s a good news story.

Click here to play the video report highlighting the results.

And here is an extract of XP’s interim financial statement:

“The Group has had a very strong first half of 2017. Our reported order intake and revenues for the first six months of 2017 all set new records, assisted by the weakness of Sterling, a recovery in the capital equipment markets and, significantly, new design wins entering their production phase. The resulting solid earnings, cashflow generation and our confidence in the Group’s outlook support a further increase in the dividend.

We have continued to execute well against our strategy and, most encouragingly, we are now seeing the positive effect from design wins on the newer product introductions. The successful implementation of our strategy continues to drive market share gains and we are encouraged both by the strength of our order book and our continued new program wins. Our strong performance is enabling us to invest part of the cash generated from this revenue growth to expand our engineering capabilities and fuel our future growth.

Our strategy and value proposition

The Group has applied a consistent strategy of moving up the value chain and our growth derives in part from the targeting of key account customers. Once we are approved to supply these larger customers, we have continued to be successful in gaining a larger share of their business. We also continue to expand the breadth of our product portfolio, both organically and by acquisition, in what remains a highly fragmented sector, therefore enabling us to increase our addressable market.

Our value proposition to customers is to reduce their overall costs of design, manufacture and operation. We achieve this by providing excellent sales engineering support and producing new highly reliable products that are easy to design into the customer’s system, consume less power, take up less space and reduce installation times.

Our vision is to be the first choice power solutions provider, delivering the ultimate experience for our customers and as a place of work for our people.”

Incheon, South Korea

Good Call Media is back in Asia – this time filming for the first World Veterinary Association animal welfare awards.

Nik Wood will be hosting the Awards at a ceremony being held at the WVA’s 33rd congress being held in Incheon. Thousands of veterinarians from every corner of the globe are attending the event and a big crowd is expected for the Awards event, which will include videos recorded in six different continents.

The WVA Animal Welfare Awards aim to recognise and reward veterinarians who have provided outstanding and exemplary welfare-related services to animal owners, hostels, fellow veterinarians, and the public. Each award recipient will have demonstrated best practices in their consistent commitment to improve and educate about the welfare of animals.

The Global Animal Welfare Awards 2017 will be presented to one selected veterinarian from each of the six WVA regions (North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, North Africa/Middle East and Asia/Oceania).

The WVA President, Dr René Carlson said; “The WVA applauds this partnership with Ceva Animal Health to recognize veterinarians from around the world for their efforts to improve animal welfare and eliminate animal suffering. Such recognition is not only important, it is necessary to bring continued awareness to the benefits of good animal welfare for animals, people, and society. It is well recognized that good animal care can have far reaching and positive benefits in a number of areas, including human physical and psychological health, social development, poverty and hunger reduction, disaster management and environmental sustainability.”

For Ceva Santé Animale, Dr. Marc Prikazsky Chairman & CEO said, “I am very proud that as Chairman of Ceva, we are able to accompany the WVA in the creation of these important new awards.; As a veterinarian, I have felt for some time, that the profession needed to bring welfare back to the centre of what we do. Animals contribute enormous value to our society and as veterinarians we have a pivotal role to ensure that their health and welfare is always a priority. I look forward meeting the inaugural winners of the Awards”.

We are always pleased to work with new clients, and our latest, JEOL, is no exception.

Good Call Media is to partner with the company on a project designed to look in detail at their work in the field of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometers and our first assignment was to visit the recent Euromar 2017 Congress in Warsaw, Poland, where JEOL was a sponsor. We will also be filming at their facility in Japan as part of the project.

Our first short video with the company highlighted JEOL’s presence at Euromar and was used by the company on their Linked In site for JEOL Europe.

JEOL EUROPE – EUROMAR 2017 from JEOL EUROPE on Vimeo.

EUROMAR2017 gathered almost 550 participants, who met to exchange knowledge and the results of scientific research in the field of magnetic resonance, ranging from physics and chemistry to biology and medicine.

JEOL’s NMR products are high quality and selling in Europe.

JEOL is a leading supplier of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometers, mass spectrometers, scanning electron microscopes (SEMs), transmission electron microscopes (TEMs), scanning probe microscopes (SPMs), and semiconductor tools for scientific and industrial purposes. Providing applications-specific solutions that advance their customers’ diverse objectives — from routine analysis of organic and inorganic specimens to breakthroughs in nanotechnological development.

Nik Wood of Good Call Media, said:”JEOL is an amazing company with roots in the excellence of Japanese technology but is now very much a player in Europe and the rest of the world and our job will be to work closely with them to illustrate the work of their NMR team and the products they produce and sell.” Our work with JEOL is going to involve interviewing some of their best customers throughout Europe including several academic institutions who have decided to invest in JEOL equipment.

The Euromar event gave us the chance to meet with JEOL’s personnel from all around the world and we will also be visiting the JEOL facility in Tokyo, Japan to show the level of engineering excellence involved in producing NMR products – a skill that dates back almost sixty years.

Our ‘kick off’ video for the Made in the UK  2017 Awards went live at the prestigious event, staged by Insider Media in Liverpool as part of a day-long conference event focusing on manufacturing.

Mark Garnier MP – Export Award Sponsor

The video featured an interview with Mark Garnier MP, the Parliamentary Under Secretary for State in the Department For International Trade who sponsored this year’s Export Award.

“We know that companies that export are three times more profitable, seven times more resilient to economic shocks and they are our greatest calling card when we do business the world over”, he said.

The Awards dinner

The event is two events in one day. The day begins at the Merseyside Maritime Museum at the Albert Dock, Liverpool, with 8 mini – conference sessions focusing on specific manufacturing sectors. The conferences aim to update manufacturers operating in the specific sectors bringing them the latest information about futuristic developments that will impact on manufacturers in the near future.

The second event is the Awards dinner itself which is attended by hundreds of manufacturers and their clients. It’s the third year in a row that Good Call Media has been chosen to make the opening video. We also work closely with Insider Media Group on other events including the Yorkshire Property Industry Awards, the Made in Sheffield Awards and the Made in the Midlands Awards.
