City briefs: Kromek and ZOO Digital
Detection technology business, Kromek, has won a contract worth £1.7m from an existing UK Government-related customer.
This is for the provision of CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear) detection products and services. It is to be delivered over the next four years, with revenue split equally over that period.
Dr Arnab Basu, CEO of Huddersfield-based Kromek, said: “We are pleased to have received this new contract from this long-standing customer.
“It is testament to the value that they place on our products and the nature of our CBRN business where we build solid relationships and continue to receive repeat orders.
“Governments are becoming increasingly aware of the need to enhance their wide-area monitoring in order to be able to provide early warning of the presence of CBRN material as well as a full range of CBRN threats, and our solutions are best placed to provide them with this capability.”

Entertainment industry software software services business, ZOO Digital Group, has launched ZOO Denmark in the latest move in the company’s global growth initiative.
The Copenhagen-based facility becomes ZOO’s Nordic hub for localisation services and includes a state-of-the-art dubbing studio.
It will offer entertainment industry clients an in-territory hub for Danish dubbing. The facility will be used by a growing network of dubbing talent, helping to meet the capacity needs of the industry and support a significant and widespread audience demand for localised content into the region.
Stuart Green, chief executive officer of ZOO Digital, said: “Scandinavia is an important region for our clients, so we want to be right there with them – providing the choice, talent capacity and quality of services they’ve come to expect from ZOO.
“ZOO Denmark also enables us to support our cloud-based dubbing network with an in-territory base as needed, offering greater flexibility and a modern approach to dubbing.
“This is another important regional launch as we continue to scale and build capacity in key growth regions for our clients.”
Andreas Kaj, regional manager, Nordics, added: “ZOO is growing in order to reflect the needs of the entertainment industry.
“Our facilities, people and presence continue to expand to ensure we’re always here for our clients.
“Nordic audiences have a relentless demand for streamed shows and movies provided by the likes of Disney+, Netflix and HBO Max.
“Equally, content from Denmark and other Nordic countries continues to see critical and commercial success around the world, with the region building a reputation for high-quality content with global appeal.”
