"We are very pleased with our continuing momentum in signing distribution partners, which gives us confidence in meeting our pre-sales objectives. Poland is perhaps the most important market in Europe in terms of the amount of EU money dedicated to enhancing its infrastructure and so we are delighted to be making such strong progress there.
"We now have 27 distributors around Europe with levels of commitment ranging from €100,000 to £9 million. This contract is as a direct result of our recent marketing launch party at the British Embassy in Warsaw. Our pipeline for new contract wins in 2009 looks very strong and we are highly satisfied with our commercial progress."
