Please be advised that the information contained within this section of the report was provided by the director of the Company. The Joint Administrators and Leading Business Services do not provide any warranties or assurances regarding its accuracy or reliability.
The Company was incorporated in June 2017, its mission was to use new transparent LED display technology to create unique, high visibility digital advertising displays in places and formats that traditional LED technology could not achieve.
The first major project was a 7.5 metre by 5 metre HD transparent LED screen installed on the front of a glass lift shaft in a premium shopping centre in Hull under a seven-year lease. This display was activated in December 2020, and was funded by private investment. It remains a 100% Company owned asset. After this, the Company worked on several potential projects with organisations such as the Southbank Centre, Haringey Council, UCLH Hospital (Euston Road), Odeon and Vue Cinemas. Although these discussions showed strong market interest, they did not lead to confirmed contracts. The Company’s second major project was at the OMNI Centre in Edinburgh. Having successfully delivered the Hull installation, the Company gained the trust of its manufacturing and installation partner, who agreed to act as guarantor for bank financing. The OMNI display was activated in November 2023 and represented a major achievement for the business.
