A Luton company that designs and makes video surveillance and recording equipment has won its first order from a police force in Australia following help from UK Trade & Investment.
David Horn Communications, which employs 29 people at its base in Enterprise Way, has been supplying UK police, military and government agencies since 1985. Last year it decided to set its sights on markets down under and turned to East of England International, which delivers UK Trade & Investment services in Bedfordshire, for advice and support. Marketing director Jeff Horn used UKTI’s Export Market Research Scheme to help finance a visit to Sydney, Brisbane and Canberra in January where he met distributors and agents and representatives from the police forces of New South Wales and Queensland. While there, he heard of a tender for video interview surveillance equipment for New South Wales police. He submitted a proposal and won an order for 235 systems to be shipped. A further 22 systems have been shipped since making the order worth £700,000. |
