We opened a design center in the South of England last year as part of our strategy for being close to our customers and developing innovative products for exciting new markets.

We see portability in electronics being a continuing requirement, higher functionality, better battery life, requiring lower power for the actual electronics.

We are also fortunate in being in quite a sheltered environment, in terms of people moving on to do other things, because there are relatively few companies in Scotland that are looking for the skill set that we've developed.

In terms of development of the company, the vast majority of our sales are in the Far East and we will expect to strengthen our activities there, perhaps even moving some of our engineering activities abroad.

Obama really changed the way in which design can be used effectively for a candidate.

Today, tomorrow and every day, we will see at least 2,000 young children killed or seriously injured on the world's roads. This is unacceptable, preventable, and we have to stop it. We have the vaccines for this disease: helmets, seatbelts, speed enforcement, safe road design. We just need to use them.
