Business

SSTL's Sir Martin Sweeting is giving a talk to the West Surrey Branch of the Institute of Directors (IOD) next Thursday evening, 20th September at the Continuing Education Centre in Guildford. These lectures are open to all IOD members and their guests. An invitation is also extended to the MBA students at the University of Surrey. The programme summarises as follows:

"SSTL is a company that is a disruptive force in the satellite industry and which is 'changing the economics of space'. Leveraging terrestrial commercial-off-the-shelf technologies developed for laptop computers, digital cameras, computer games and mobile phones, SSTL is able to offer rapid-response, low cost yet highly sophisticated microsatellites that have opened up new aspects of space business. Spun out from the University of Surrey in 1985, SSTL continues to work closely with the academic space research centre demonstrating the effectiveness of real commercial and academic synergy. Nevertheless, the company has changed dramatically as it has evolved from 4 staff in 1985 through to 250 staff in 2007 with revenues of £30m. Such organic growth has presented many challenges - and no doubt more are to come."
