Hi Griff, Bromcom did not find attendance at BETT to be an effective for its post “BETT 2010 Report” marketing strategy, needing to divert resources into local authority tender bids and having found local regional events more effective and certainly more convenient for interested parties. We certainly had feedback from a number of local authorities and schools telling us that they’re not attending because of budget cuts and the cost of taking the personnel away from their normal duties for the day. Whilst we picked up some international interest, our marketing focus remains in the UK. We will continue to monitor the situation and may return to BETT in the future. It should not be forgotten that the budget for marketing comes from the profits of school sales and certainly in these austere times, we prefer to invest more in customer specific software developments (hence comments above from @Stopfords) and pass savings to our customers than attend exhibitions that they and their contemporaries do not attend. I am not trying to suggest that BETT does not have its place and I am sure it is an effective marketing venue for many suppliers. Incidentally we now run regular online webinars to present the Bromcom solution. Some are MIS general and others are themed to a particular interest area, such as Assessment without Levels.

Bromcom is certainly here and all is well. We even took on additional salesperson last month. I see that matt40K has already referred to a London Gazette notice, which dates from 2012. This was all dealt with and if anyone is interested in details please PM me. Even though it is now historic, you may be amused at the detail, even if we found it rather annoying at the time. A competitor, who no longer works in this market (the irony) tried to capitalize on it by creating negative publicity about us at that time.

Vikpaw, you are right. Whilst happy to communicate individually under PM, for legal reasons we are limited what can be state at present time other than to confirm the most relevant information that “the originator of the notice has been fully satisfied for some weeks now and therefore they have no need for any action to follow.

To those concerned at the notice, there were unprecedented mitigating circumstances behind this. However, the originator of the notice has been fully satisfied for some weeks now. If you have any further queries on non-product or services relating to Bromcom Computers Plc then please send me a private message. We are happy to respond.
