£500,000 turnover is the next presentation

A BUSINESS that specialises in increasing the impact of company presentations hopes to hit a £500,000 turnover in five years after securing a lucrative London contract.

Durham-based 7Presentations has landed one of its biggest deals to date by working with London-based IT recruitment firm Xtra IT Resources to produce a series of engaging presentations for its boardroom.

Colin Kendall, who set up the firm in September last year, believes the contract, which will see his presentations being used overseas for the first time, will help him reach his £500,000 turnover target within five years as well as allow him to establish a small eight-strong workforce in the same period.

Colin, who currently runs the company on his own, turns PowerPoint slides into engaging presentations by using a range of striking visual images which he believes speak far more to potential customers than just a series of bullet points.

He said: “This is the first time we have secured a client in London and it is one of the biggest in the business’s brief history. I’m sure the presentations will provide a great motivational tool and ensure its message is received clearly.”
