With the acquistion of the FM Learning division by Edvantage Group, the Board Members of Futuremedia plc decided that it would be in the best interest of the company and further its ongoing cost cutting measures to reduce the Board from four members down to two. Margot and Sabine offered their resignations since both brought learning expertise to the company which was utilized by FM Learning, It was agreed that their resignation be accepted with the completion of the acquisition effective September 23, 2008.

George O’Leary CEO of Futuremedia PLC stated, “We are grateful for the major contributions that were made by Margot and Sabine during this transition year. Much was accomplished and without their help the changes made to the company’s direction would not have been achieved as effectively as they were. We will certainly miss both of their guidance going forward.” O’Leary continued, “With the core focus now on the exhibition and events industry and having over 100 years experience in the senior management team of the Button Group, we believe we are in a great position to focus100% of our efforts on executing our business strategy moving forward.”

However it isn’t a tender for a new corporate learning programme they will be contesting, but a rounders match. Close business competitors during the week, the four companies, Futuremedia Learning, Kineo, Brightwave and Capita Learning & Development, will be putting their differences aside in aid of raising funds for Chestnut Tree House, a children’s hospice in Sussex, as part of Children’s Hospice Week which runs from the 21 - 28 September, 2008.

The fundraising event, suggested by Andrea Miles, Managing Director of Futuremedia Learning, will run from 12.30pm – 5pm on Sunday September 21st at Hove Park, Hove, with the first game starting at 1.00pm.

Andrea commented, ‘E-learning is a very competitive industry, and many of the companies we compete against are based in Brighton - but actually we all know each other and we get on really well away from the cut and thrust of business. I thought this was a great opportunity to do something fun together in a good cause. I was incredibly impressed when I saw the work Chestnut Tree House is doing with children. As a mother of three, I know the thought of one of your kids getting seriously ill is every parent’s nightmare, but it’s really reassuring to know that if something does happen, there are places like Chestnut Tree there to help.’

About Chestnut Tree House

Chestnut Tree House is the only children’s hospice in Sussex and cares for children and young adults from 0-19 years of age with progressive life-limiting and life-threatening illnesses from all over the county.

Completed in 2003, the hospice provides a ‘home from home’ environment with 10 children’s bedrooms plus 8 family rooms, a wet and dry play area, computer and music rooms, a multi sensory room and hydrotherapy pool. The house is set in beautiful gardens within an area of outstanding natural beauty.

There are potentially 400 families with life-limited children in Sussex. Chestnut Tree House offers support for the whole family including psychological support, care in bereavement therapy, end of life and respite care and sibling support.

The hospice costs approximately £2 million per year to run. Families are not charged for their care and the hospice receives no government funding at all, so it relies completely on the generosity, help and support of the people of Sussex.

Produced on behalf of the Waste Facilities Audit Association (WFAA) the 40-minute learning programme is for companies of all sizes from SME’s to large global corporations. Subject matter expertise for the course was provided by URS, one of the world’s leading firms of environmental consultants. Other stakeholder companies involved in review stages of the course were GE, BP, Johnson & Johnson, Federal Mogul and Pfizer. The programme comes against a background of toughening regulation in this area with a number of new pieces of legislation impacting directly on the practice of waste management (for a summary of relevant legislation see: http://www.netregs.gov.uk/netregs/legislation).

David Denley, Secretary, WFAA stated: “This is an excellent package that our members and others can benefit greatly from, and the customization service provided by Futuremedia Learning in tailoring it to the needs of particular organisations will extend its usefulness to a much wider audience. We have been impressed as always by the creativity and partnership approach taken by Futuremedia Learning in helping to address this vital challenge to industry’

Andrea Miles, Managing Director of Futuremedia Learning commented: ‘We’re delighted to be involved in furthering knowledge and good practice in this vital area. Corporate Social Responsibility is one of our core values as a company, and the environmental aspect of that is especially dear to our hearts: aside from its other benefits in providing better access to learning, e-learning is also a more energy-efficient way to deliver training, reducing everybody’s carbon footprint.’

Susan Wain, Associate Director at URS says: “With the increased focus on waste legislation in recent years, we are seeing a high level of demand for training in this area. This package is an excellent example of an interactive and accessible tool to help staff increase their awareness of the relevant issues.”

ClimateWise is the group of insurers brought together under the leadership of Peter Hubbard (AXA UK), and committed to take action on climate change.

The programme, which is scheduled to be released to the client’s 8,500 employees in August, portrays messages from global, workplace and home perspectives, with additional information on the organisation’s own Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme. It aims to elicit a change in individual behaviours both at home and at work, and to increase engagement with the Organisation’s CSR policy.

Using e-learning for this training is all the more fitting, since not only is e-learning a highly effective means of instruction and communication, it also instructs and communicates in a more carbon-friendly way than face-to-face training or briefing sessions, reducing travel, printing, paper use and overnights.

CSR is a hot topic among corporates and large government organisations at the moment and Futuremedia Learning is talking to a number of clients about leveraging its experience and knowledge in this area - following its own logic of reduce, reuse and recycle!

Andrea Miles, Managing Director of Futuremedia Learning said: ‘CSR is very close to our hearts at Futuremedia Learning, as it’s one of our core values. We have a lot of experience in this area due to our long and successful involvement with the Waste Facilities Audit Association (WFAA), and our work for them. I’m delighted that we have won this exciting contract, and commend the many other firms who have expressed interested in leveraging our knowledge and experience here. Too often in training we’re reinventing the wheel: with the planet’s resources under threat we all need to operate more efficiently.’
