In Brief: Expansion for digital firm and Bradford Chamber; Tracsis wins work in New Zealand
DIGITAL media company Digital Media Projects has opened a new, corporate sales and marketing suite headquarters in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.
Digital Media Projects – which boasts investment banks, Premier League football clubs, electrical retail chains and the United States Air Force as clients – has moved to the town’s Cardale Park business park.
The expansion to the 3,000 sq ft office comes as the company, launched by former banking IT project manager Nicholas Fearnley in 2005, increases its workforce and develops its digital signage and internet protocol TV systems.
Mr Fearnley said: “The opening of our sales and marketing suite in Harrogate comes at a very exciting time for Digital Media Projects, and the whole digital signage industry.
The company has already established an office in the Netherlands to promote its products and services in the Low Countries, and is looking to open an office in New York, where it already has a number of key clients.

BRADFORD CHAMBER has expanded into Keighley, taking space within chartered accountancy firm, Clough & Company’s office.
The organisation already works with a wide range of companies and individuals in Keighley where it supports business, improves performance and shares knowledge and services that enable businesses to work more efficiently and profitably.
Andy Cullwick, of Bradford Chamber of Commerce, said: “In recent years the number of members we have in Keighley and across the Aire Valley has increased greatly so this is a great opportunity to further enhance the services we are able to offer them.”
Steven Gash, practice chairman of Clough & Company, added: “As a successful local business that has had roots in Keighley for more than 40 years we are delighted to be able to support Bradford Chamber in its expansion into the town.”
The move by Bradford Chamber will support the recently launched Keighley Business Network in association with Clough & Company and Keighley Town Council. The bi-monthly breakfast events now attract more than 60 business people.
