Liverpool Science Park News & Press

Technology is everywhere; developing and changing daily. Innovations that promise to make our lives simpler, more economical and kinder to the environment have a key role to play in the future of our economy.

Here in the Northwest, energy and environmental technologies is a key business sector employing over 50,000 people and it continues to grow apace, despite the challenging economic climate.

The region is home to fast growing companies such as Eco Environments and Sign Lights, and a raft of exciting smaller firms with big ambitions making their names in the marketplace.

Award-winning Ultamation Ltd, based in Liverpool Science Park's innovation centre 2, at just three years old, has an impressive client base spanning global brands to police forces and even Premiership footballers.

The cutting-edge firm, led by Managing Director Oliver Hall, develops smarter, simpler, more energy-efficient technology systems for organisations and private residences, which can be operated from the tap of a centralised control pad.

 Ultamation designs and installs 'intelligent' systems which can control everything from heat, lighting, sound and pictures through to high tech security features. Each system reflects the client's requirements and lifestyle for maximum efficiency and environmental savings.

Oliver Hall, Managing Director, of Ultamation, said: "We are certainly seeing people getting wiser to the financial and environmental benefits the right technology can bring to their businesses and day-to-day lives. It is in some ways an education process, as many people are simply unaware of the extent technology can assist them as they go about their daily routines. Being based in the science park community with like-minded technology companies and the access to networks that comes with this is certainly helping us to spread the word."

"Despite the wider economic challenges the country is facing, I can see great short and long-term opportunities within the technology sector, and we for one are looking to expand over the coming 12 months." For more information please visit www.ultamation.com
