FNVI LTD

WWW.FNVI.CO.UK

FNVi Ltd is based in the North East of England and has created a unique Project Workflow & Data Management software system which is specifically aimed at vastly improving the management of complex Construction Projects and Operations.

The company operates in all major industries for which the system is suitable, namely any project in any industry that has a high degree of complexity and is of a medium to long term duration. The system is cloud based (AWS) using an infinite database and is delivered as (SaaS) Software as a Service. It is accessible from anywhere in the World on any electronic device that can communicate with the internet.

The Accord system disrupts the industry by easing the way information is managed and accessed within projects. Historically the major problem is the great difficulty in managing the enormous amount of data produced by complex projects. The only systems managing such large amounts of data were limited to outdated legacy software applications that are both inefficient and expensive in time and labour. The FNVi system enables users to manage an infinite amount of data in real-time, using a single instance database, with unlimited concurrent users accessing the system from anywhere in the World in several different languages on any internet enabled communications device.

The Accord system is essentially a very sophisticated Project Delivery automated Workflow & Data Management system. It manages the data of Engineering (FEED Stage), Construction,
Completions (CMS), Inspection & Testing, Commissioning, Operations & Maintenance,
Preservation, etc.

MEE-GO LTD

WWW.MEE-GO.CO.UK

Mee-go Limited was launched by owner Paul Roberts in 2012 offering quality pushchairs without the designer price tags. The mee-go brand was named quite simply with the help of Paul’s son, Findlay. Paul was looking for a catchy name which had some meaning. When Findlay was starting to talk and communicate he used to say ‘me go potty’, ‘me go bed’… and naturally mee-go was born.

Mee-go launched its first furniture and pushchair accessories range in 2012, in 2019 the range has now includes over 40 products sold throughout the world enjoying a global £5M annual turnover.

As a parent Paul found it hard to find a baby skincare range he trusted, a product made from natural ingredients, a desire growing amongst new Mums and Dads worldwide. Having reviewed the market we could clearly see a major gap in this area of the market, based on his global business he also understood the importance of producing an organic, vegan and incredibly a unique classification for Halal certified baby cosmetic product. Ireland has a growing reputation for producing quality, organic and natural products for the skin. Paul developed the range with a quality organic manufacturer completing the process following 3 years of research, certification and quality control together with a £500K investment. The cute animals featured on the bottles also have a family connection and meaning. Paul painted some of the characters on Findlay’s bedroom wall, so to continue the family theme they were developed to feature on the packaging.

mee-go Little Organics are proud to have the Halal seal of approval on all products across the skincare range, giving you peace of mind you are only using the best for baby’s skin.

NU WEB SYSTEMS LTD

WWW.NUTICKETS.COM

Nuweb Group is an innovative software development company based out of Manchester, United Kingdom.

The company has developed a proprietary, white label event management solution featuring e-ticketing, access control, cashless (RFID/QR) payments and a REST API.

All features and solutions are developed in house, so the company has 100% control of the software roadmap enabling the software to quickly adapt to new markets and trends.

The core business model is to supply partners (who are typically organisations looking to upgrade existing technologies, or add additional streams of revenue to their business) with a version of the software in their own brand, tailored to their local market with multiple languages, payment methods, and currencies.

The partners are responsible for the acquisition of new clients (sales, marketing, first line support) whilst the company maintains the software (development, hosting, technical support).

Unlike traditional 'ticketing' or 'cashless' providers, the company prides itself in its ability to customise the software with additional development on behalf of its partners and clients. As such, large complex projects requiring numerous integrations with various 3rd party systems, such as those required by large organisations and governments are welcomed.

Olsen Actuators is the brainchild of Piers Olsen, an engineer with decades of experience in developing solutions for challenging applications in the most demanding environments. Building on his experience, the company has developed a world-class command of actuator technology and a deep understanding of user requirements.

Actuators are a piston like component of a mechanical system that provides movement. Often found in pressing, cutting, dispensing, tilting, switching and turning applications, the industries we work are boundless.

We are a market leader in customisation and integration of electromechanical systems, and our unparalleled expertise is built into everything we supply, whether it’s a single actuator or a complex control system.

We look at applications holistically and assess their long-term performance and impact, to provide solutions that are right for the present and future-proof. We offer full product support from pre-programming through to commissioning and beyond.

For us, total product lifecycle is very important, so all of our products reach the highest testing standards. We make extensive use of lifetime modelling technology to ensure that our solutions always meet customers’ performance and duty cycle requirements now, and for many years to come.

We are committed to energy saving technologies and all of our products and solutions are developed with this in mind. Since electric actuators only use electricity when moving, they are significantly more energy efficient than their hydraulic and pneumatic counterparts. Quiet, reliable and effective, electric actuators are the best solution for applications as diverse as electric aircraft to power station controls.

VISCGO LTD

WWW.VISCGO.COM

Dysphagia (swallowing difficulty) affects 8% of the global population and can cause aspiration, pneumonia, dehydration, malnutrition and death. A common way to manage dysphagia is to thicken drinks. Different people require different drink thicknesses so the drink must be the correct prescribed thickness for each patient. Different drinks at different temperatures require different amounts of thickener to achieve the same consistency. Currently there is no practical way to ensure that thickened drinks are at the prescribed consistency which causes errors that can be fatal. The global adoption of the new IDDSI Framework of drink thickness levels has exacerbated the problem and heightened awareness of the urgent need for a practical drink thickness test.

Viscgo have produced a simple device that checks a drink is at the prescribed thickness on the IDDSI Framework quickly and easily simply by standing or falling when placed in the drink. Viscgo are making minor improvements following beta testing and are gearing up for full market launch. Speech and Language Therapists (SLTs) are Viscgo’s early adopters, recommenders and influencers. 98% of 80 SLTs surveyed would use and recommend Viscgo’s devices which are being used in a Global Health Research Group Project on improving stroke care in India with plans to extend this to other low-to-middle-income countries. The World Stroke Organization are adopting a new Swallow Screening Tool that Viscgo’s devices are an integral part of. Viscgo also have digital devices under development that can revolutionise the management of dysphagia and hydration with effective global IP protection.
