    its companies is preferred supplier for a major five-year government
    contract to operate the Teachers TV channel.

    including finance, environment, public sector and international trade.

Ten Alps was founded in 1999 by Alex Connock and Bob Geldof.


It has over 650 staff with main offices in London and Manchester, and smaller

Ten Alps has had seven consecutive years of growth since listing on AiM in 2001,
with turnover rising from 2m to a forecast 78m in the financial year to March
31 2008.

During that period, sixteen acquisitions have been made: in factual TV
(including leading producers Brook Lapping and Blakeway), online (video
advertising producer MMA, CSR specialists DBDA ) and in print (McMillan Scott,
Mongoose, Atalink, Camerons, Sovereign - all of which now have substantial
online portfolios.)  Only one equity funding has been made since 2001.
