Thu 10th Jan 2002 : Geared Up For Go
In a year of unprecedented growth the staff at REACT, The Regional Technology Centre are all geared up for the challenge of 2002. A year that is sure to present many opportunities for the regional business community.

Looking back, the REACT product development team sees out 2001 having successfully helped produce thousands of components and develop hundreds of new products, securing nearly one hundred jobs in the region. Training & Facilities Hire services at REACT again hit an all time high with thousands of delegates advancing their IT skills and hundreds of public and private organisations benefiting from the superb business environment at Reresby House. Companies throughout the area expanded their capabilities through numerous IT projects ranging from basic Web sites to full blown ERP systems, many of them achieving sustained growth introducing new personnel through the subsidised human resourcing schemes on offer at REACT.

Fascinating Smart Awards, companies floated and countless other success stories, so successful has the REACTs project management model been in South Yorkshire that they opened an office in Hull and have future aspirations in other areas.

Growing companies such as mini jet engine manufacturers Wren Turbines provide a glowing testament to what is possible if you are prepared to take advantage of the range of services available, “Without REACT there would not have been a viable product to sell - there might not even have been a Wren Turbines!” Rodger Parish, Director

Of course it wasn’t just the smaller fish that benefited from REACTs assistance, even the regions teachers, police and health services utilised REACT throughout the year.

REACT have been busy developing many new products to match clients demands whilst maintaining alignment with both regional and national initiatives. Having recognised the need to continually adapt, to adopt an even more flexible approach, REACT now provide fastrack access to the most relevant and appropriate solutions for the clients, where necessary teaming up with industry leaders to provide leading edge technological advice or accessing support from the National and European Technology Application Network .

Dr. Gordon Shields, REACTs Chief Executive, looks forward to the forthcoming year, “ there has never been more support for the regions SME’s to draw upon. We hope to play our part in helping deliver first class services throughout South Yorkshire to encourage local business help themselves, to identify new opportunities and to ensure that they have the ability to effectively transfer their ideas into growth.” A view shared by both the Board of REACT and its staff.
