Tyrell CCT Announces Continued Growth and Further Expansion of UK Office.

DUBLIN, February 15th, 2010 - Tyrell CCT, a leading creative technology solutions provider for the broadcast and post production industry, today announced continued expansion of its UK operation with a number of new customer deployments, additional staff and recent move to a larger office space. Building on its success in the Irish market, Tyrell CCT opened its UK division in May 2009 and has since recorded strong sales momentum and accelerating market demand for the company’s technical and support services.

A number of major broadcasters and post-production companies including the BBC, Al Sharqiya Television, Pepper Post, Directors Cut Films and Azimuth have engaged Tyrell CCT to design and deliver integrated digital media solutions that enhance productivity and streamline workflows. Tyrell CCT’s services department has also experienced increased demand for support and maintenance services with customers such as Directors Cut Films, Bruce Dunlop & Associates, Speade, Big Buoy and Diverse Production signing agreements for Tyrell CCT’s comprehensive support packages.

Responding to this growing market demand Tyrell CCT has recently moved to a much larger office space. Still based in central Soho, Tyrell CCT’s UK office is now located on Berwick Street and provides a dedicated demonstration and meeting area together with improved facilities and a greatly increased space for system set-up, testing and integration. The new office also affords considerable room for future expansion of the sales and technical teams. Tyrell CCT has also strengthened its supplier list adding number of innovative new products from leading manufacturers including Aspera (File Delivery System), MOG Technology (Video/File Ingest), Grab Networks (Encoding) and Marquis (Media Integration).

The company has recently appointed Malcolm Smith as Business Development Manager for New Media Technologies in the UK. Malcolm joins Tyrell CCT with over 25 years of broadcast industry experience ranging from outside broadcast engineering to sales of high-end broadcast systems. Most recently he worked as Regional Sales Manager with Avid Technology where he had responsibility for post-production and broadcast sales in the UK, Ireland and Southern Europe. Malcolm’s new role at Tyrell CCT will involve close liaison with clients to provide solutions for the exploding area of new media including ViewCast’s award-winning streaming media solutions, which simplify the complex workflows required for the Web-based streaming of video content to computers and mobile devices.

“We are delighted with our strong UK results and the growing demand for our technical expertise and support,” commented Mark Lynn, Sales Director, Tyrell CCT UK. “Broadcasters and post-production facilities are showing a strong preference for working with suppliers that really understand their particular pressures and respond quickly to these needs. Tyrell CCT is committed to our investment in technical expertise and to delivering innovative technology solutions that will help our clients to accomplish their goals.”

Bryan Malone, Managing Director of Tyrell CCT added “The opening of a UK office has been a very successful move for Tyrell CCT. We have experienced great market enthusiasm and support for the company in the UK and Tyrell CCT is now focused on nurturing our customer relationships and developing new partnerships that will drive further company growth.”
