It is less than six years since Inclusive Technology began supplying special needs software, information and training to schools, yet the UK trading company accounts, posted today, bring total annual sales for the Inclusive Group of companies above £5 million per annum with annual growth averaging 50%. Fifty percent-plus growth for 2003 is already guaranteed with a recent single order for £1.3 million assistive technology from UK Online.
The explosive but sustained growth of the three Inclusive companies has already brought recognition. The company's CEO is now listed in the "Who's Who" of entrepreneurs in both Great Britain and in the United States and was entered for "Entrepreneur of the Year Awards" sponsored by the London Stock Exchange, The Times, and Ernst & Young. We reached the semi-final. On the product front, four products have been nominated for the prestigious BETT Awards: IT Mouse Skills, IT Picture Browser and the British versions of IntelliKeys USB and IntelliMathics.
"Its seems only yesterday that we started from scratch" said CEO Martin Littler who together with his friends Trish Hornsey and Roger Bates, set up the company in September 1996 and led a management buy-out in April 1998. In the UK the annualised catalog sales of software are now £3.6 million. Meanwhile InclusiveTLC catalog sales in the United States are already touching $1 million after less than twelve months of trading. Growing sales on both sides of the Atlantic has given fresh impetus for software development with the four new graphic artists, programmers and writers we have recently hired.

Sister UK company, Inclusive Consultancy and Training Ltd has posted annualised sales of £1.2 million from its special needs training, consultancy and exhibition activities including SpecialneedsIT and the Special Needs Fringe. ICT has also received praise for its leadership of the ICTS Consortium which has provided extensive NOF funded ICT training for 6,700 teachers working with learners who have severe and complex special educational needs. "Although ICTS works with a very special group of teachers working within "Severe and Complex SEN" we have still managed to train over 2% of the entire teaching force of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland" claims Littler.
The ICTS Consortium: The ACE Centre, ACE
North, the Advisory Unit, the CALL Centre, Edinburgh University, CENMAC,
the
Downs Syndrome Association, Inclusive Technology, Janet Larcher Associates,
Manchester Metropolitan University, and the RNIB
The ICTS NOF training was praised by the DfES, the TTA, the Welsh Office, and the Department of Education in Northern Ireland. Following its success, Inclusive have further strengthened their information teams in Britain and the United States. In the UK two new people have joined bringing the information team up to a strength of six while in the United States another Special Education specialist "hire" increases our team of assistive technology experts to three.
To the alarm and astonishment of its auditors, Inclusive Technology has always published the full company financial results on the Internet. They have proved a popular download.
