PAISLEY-BASED electrical engineering group, Power One, is on course for turnover of £2.5 million in its first year following a raft of contract wins in the telecoms and utilities sectors.
The firm has landed a prestigious iBeacon project for 14 heritage and tourist destinations, including the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Willow Tearooms in Glasgow for the 150th anniversary of the birth of Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
The firm is also leading LED street lighting projects across Scotland and working with one of the UK’s largest cellular asset management companies, they plan to help deliver integrated cellular systems across the UK for Vodafone, Telefonica and EE to hefully embrace 4G and prepare for 5G.
Managing director Mark Ward is optimistic about the future. He said: “With 5G just around the corner we are preparing for the massive opportunity this presents and anticipate building turnover to £4m next year, then up to £6m the following year.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
