Huge opportunity for Eckoh (LON:ECK) in behind-the-times US: ProactiveInvestors Stocktube

Published on 2 Jun 2016
“We retain our focus on the US which is definitely our number one strategic goal,” says Nik Philpot, chief executive of Eckoh PLC (LON:ECK). The boss of the secure payments and customer contact systems says he is “very confident” about making more multi-million US dollar deals with enterprise customers particularly as the market was “heating up nicely” and momentum building.

Philpot is seeing good progress from every part of the group particularly in the US. “There’s huge opportunity for us there. It’s virtually a virgin market. There’s virtually no competition and corporations are slowly waking up to the fact that they need to do more to protect their customers.”

Eckoh’s biggest hurdle is educating US companies about the importance of secure payments. “The US’s approach to credit card security is wholly different”, says Philpot. "It’s many years behind Europe so they are in catch up mode.“

He also insisted he'd take Britain into the EU under the special terms it now enjoys if it wasn't already a member.

"I've enhanced our special status with real protection for Britain in the bits we want …

#Syria - Inside Story - Is there still a political way out of Syria's crisis? Al Jazeera English

Published on 2 Jun 2016
Is there still a political way out of Syria's crisis?

The United Nations describes the humanitarian situation in Syria as unrelentingly distressing, and dire.

The agency says more than 13 million people need some form of aid, but the fighting is making it difficult for assistance to reach civilians.

France and Britain are pushing for airdrops, but the UN says that should be a last resort, and not a susbstitute for land deliveries.

It estimates more than half a million people are living under siege, but some groups put that figure at more than one million.

The UN has accused both the government and rebels of preventing aid delivery.

And with so many actors involved, and different agendas, is there still a political way out of the Syria crisis??

Presenter: Folly Bah Thibault

Guests:

Mohamad Katoub - Advocacy Manager for the Syrian American Medical Society

Ziad Majed - Assistant Professor of International Politics at the American University of Paris

Michael Horowitz - Lead author of a report on the Russian intervention in Syria
