DSEi beckons as new-look Persides promotes extended services

Electronics systems and software specialist Persides will take its place alongside industry giants at the four-day Defence Systems & Equipment International conference (DSEi) at the ExCeL arena in London’s Docklands in September.

Persides, renowned for its revolutionary body-worn video system VEEcam ® used by the police, fire service and military, will also be promoting its extensive range of specialist consultancy services.

The company’s continuing success recently led to the business being restructured to cope with its growing client base. Persides Consultancy Services Limited will now build on the company’s enviable reputation for being the partner of choice for UK and international clients working on highly sensitive and classified defence and aerospace contracts. Meanwhile Persides Limited will concentrate on VEEcam ® sales, product development, new inventions and supplying technology development services.

The company has also linked up with independent specialist Harmonic which offers defence and security customers vital support in ‘Through Life Capability Management’ via its newly formed Harmonic-Persides Alliance – providing an even greater range of consultancy services.

The bi-annual DSEi conference, which runs from September 8-11, is the world’s largest fully integrated defence and security exhibition, uniting senior international trade and military experts from across the entire supply chain.

With countries looking at integrating their defence and national security needs to cope with the increasingly diverse threats to their security, the DSEi event is a major opportunity to bring together senior international trade and military experts.

Persides Managing Director Mark Cook said: “At Persides we recognise the problems facing our governments, not just in their defence budgets, but also the global threats brought about via climate change and competition for increasingly limited energy sources. The 2007 conference was very widely attended and we think there will be even more interest this year.”

About Persides

Persides was created by four individuals who, combined, offer a depth of experience and skills covering all the disciplines required for delivery and support of complex electronic systems.

It has built an impressive reputation in the defence, aerospace and security markets, due to its high-calibre consultancy services and innovative technology products for the electronics systems and software sector. Customers include BAE Systems, Thales and Raytheon.

Although defence and aerospace remain core to Persides’ operations, the organisation’s growing products portfolio has broader commercial capabilities. This prompted a recent decision to split the business into two distinct segments – Persides Consultancy Services Limited, working with clients on highly sensitive and classified defence and aerospace contracts; and Persides Limited, focusing on sales of the highly successful VEEcam® body-worn video system plus product development, new inventions and technology development services.

Managing Director Mark Cook says: “Our highly experienced team at Persides can provide a full and totally comprehensive range of specialist services to provide turn-key solutions for our customers.”
