Double whammy for SYIF
Two companies have received a second round of funding by South Yorkshire Investment Fund (SYIF). Televideo and Interior Surfaces, which are both based in Sheffield, raised £75,000 and £20,000 respectively.
Founded in 1976, Televideo is one of the UK’s largest independent outside broadcast companies, which covers events including British Superbikes and Premier League football.
The company used the funding to buy a high-definition outside broadcast unit. Managing director of Televideo Paul Scivill said: “The new truck continues our expansion and improvement plans. The high definition unit is the only one in the North of England and is at the cutting edge of technology.”
Televideo previously received £50,000 from SYIF when it acquired CBF Media February 2003 for £1 million.
Interior Surfaces sells work surfaces and washroom systems for businesses, domestic customers and public institutions such as schools and hospitals. It has employed three more staff since the funding round and aims to take on nine more in the next two years.
Following extra investment from Business Link South Yorkshire and the Design Council, Interior Surfaces has also launched new branding. The company expects to increase its turnover by 60% in 2007. It previously received £50,000 from SYIF in June 2006.
