Earlsmere visit Bubble HQ
Last week we hosted a visit from our valued UK business partners Earlsmere. Rob and Ian jumped on a plane and came to Belfast to exchange pleasantries and further develop our business activities. Earlsmere have developed an innovative software platform called ToolMinder for monitoring hand arm vibration for workers using tools and equipment.

Bubble and Earlsmere are currently working on a joint project to deliver a web based solution where OEM s in the equipment sector can upload vibration data on new and existing tools so that customers can make the best tool selections for the job. If you want more information about ToolMinder or the new web solution, please contact Rob Davies at Earlsmere.

What do 93 Million Coke cans look like?
| That question can only be answered by visiting the UACan factory in Saudi Arabia. UACan produce a staggering 1.4 Billion cans every year. When we met with Paul Whiffing (General Manager) and his team earlier this month, we were amazed to see such a mammoth enterprise in operation. The factory operates 24Hrs a day, so there’s no surprise to know that the team at UACan take safety very seriously. We are delighted to embark on a close working project where the Safety message will be clearly presented to staff and visitors by a series of animated presentation loops in English & Arabic. |  |
| Displayed in various locations across the site including the main reception and staff canteen, a series of themed topics will be addressed, ensuring that important Health & Safety issues are constantly being brought to the forefront of everyone’s attention. This represents a first for SpeechBubble™ in Saudi Arabia – the first of what we hope will be lots of bespoke projects, delivering key messages using the SpeechBubble™ multilingual platform. |

Back to the East
| As we mentioned in our last news letter, two of the team returned to the Gulf region at the beginning of June. With some last minute visa glitches to keep our hearts beating fast, we headed off into the sun! By the way, if you ever have the chance to visit the Gulf in June, don’t wear a wool suit! It was another great trip and we had the opportunity to meet with and set up a number of resellers in the region. One of these was Inno-vision, a services and consulting provider headquartered in Dubai, but also with operations in Chennai, India. They are dedicating a product manager and a team to promoting the SpeechBubble™ platform, and plan to sell the solution in UAE, Oman, Qatar and India. We further developed relationships with those we are partnering with in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, all based in the Eastern Province - EITC, KVI and Heba Fire. These companies are all well positioned to sell into different channels and we’re excited about seeing these relationships develop. Thanks to Saad, Mohamed and Muhannad for showing us such fantastic hospitality. We had the opportunity to present to Saudi Aramco, one of the largest employers in the region and have been requested to make a proposal to them on a number of areas, including Off The Job Safety, Employee Qualification Improvement , Contractor Safety and Safe Driving, all delivered in the dynamic SpeechBubble™ multilingual platform. Needless to say, we found the time to drink some great Arabic coffee and sample some wonderful Arabic food!.  |
