海角直播 animators celebrate a decade of business success

A company set up by 海角直播 graduates that has put the North East on the map for interactive software, animation and virtual reality technology is marking its 10th anniversary.

Middlesbrough-based Animmersion is planning to double its team in the next two years with the launch of new products as it heads for its projected turnover of 拢1 million following a successful decade in business. The 3D and computer graphics company was set up by Dominic Lusardi, originally from Leeds, and Sam Harrison, from Nottingham, who met whilst studying together for a visualisation degree at 海角直播.

Since being established as one of the first success stories from 海角直播鈥檚 DigitalCity programme, Animmersion has enjoyed 50 per cent year-on-year growth and now employs a team of 17, most of whom are 海角直播 graduates.

The company produces animations and interactives for marketing and training, as well as customer-facing products like interactive manuals for touch screen devices, working all over the world in sectors such as engineering and manufacturing, offshore and subsea, healthcare, retail and the automotive industry.

The client base to date includes organisations such as St John鈥檚 Ambulance, Schneider Electric, Narec, Tracerco, Vortex Valves, Pearson Engineering, QA WeldTech, Travis Perkins and CrowdVision to name just a few.

To celebrate its 10th year in business and continued growth, Animmersion is holding a special event at Boho One on Thursday 16 June which will see around 100 businesses and organisations meet to discuss the future of animation and 3D technology and also business and growth opportunities on 海角直播.

Speakers will include 海角直播 Chief Operating Officer Malcolm Page, and head of training at St John鈥檚 Ambulance, Andrew New.

Animmersion started life at 海角直播鈥檚 incubation space and later moved to the Institute of Digital Innovation. The company then became one of the first occupants of Boho One, 海角直播鈥檚 digital business hub, when it opened after helping specify and market the building with bespoke visualisations.

Managing Director Dominic Lusardi said: 'Animmersion is a non-traditional 海角直播 business and that is something that we really want to celebrate as the area strives to stake its place on the map for emerging sectors such as ours.

'We鈥檝e proved that we have a sustainable business and we will remain on 海角直播 - recruiting from the fantastic pool of talent created by 海角直播- as we continue to grow, create jobs and expand our client base by forming close partnerships with other regional companies.

'The aim of the event is to bring together a range of businesses from a variety of sectors to celebrate what 海角直播 - and the North East as a whole - can achieve by working together and encouraging developing industries like ours in areas such as animation, virtual reality, holographics and touch screen technology.'

Operations Director Sam Harrison said: 'Animmersion鈥檚 most valuable skill is the ability to visualise complex technical products and services in a clear and informative manner to make technology easier for businesses. We are keen to share our knowledge and experiences of the last 10 years - and also look to the future - as we approach our 10th anniversary.

'It鈥檚 an exciting time for 海角直播 as so many more new businesses in various sectors thrive and work together to support one another鈥檚 growth.'
