Futuremedia announced the consolidation of Furturemedia and ebc, its United Kingdom learning businesses. In addition, the company will be relocating ebc staff from Milton Keynes to the Company’s Brighton headquarters.
Chief Executive Officer Leonard M. Fertig said, “The market for technology-driven learning in the UK and Europe continues to grow, and the joining of all our learning team in one location will strengthen our ability to serve our customers. With a focused workforce we will improve collaboration among our employees, enhance our ability to serve our clients, and capitalize on additional operational efficiencies. This is a logical next step for our company and one we believe will better position us for the future and will improve our competitive position. The opportunities to participate in new product and service areas such as online community building, branded learning, and multi-platform training including iPod learning demand a more flexible approach to our resources, and the single studio will provide this capability.”
Effective December 11, 2006, Andrea Miles has been appointed managing director of the Futuremedia learning business. Graham Mackie, chief executive officer at ebc, will be leaving the company to pursue other interests. Mr. Mackie will continue to serve as an advisor to the Company for six months.
