CCD-world: Announcement- EEV becomes 'Marconi Appl

Hi everyone,

Here is some news that might be a surprise to those of you that do not follow the domestic UK commercial scene.

GEC (which owns EEV) divided itself up this year, and sold off many companies to British Aerospace.  It retained EEV as a high-tech electronics manufacturer, which was respectably profitable, and fitted in with the business aims of the new group of companies (communications & electronics).  Another result of this reorganisation is that companies are now to be known as 'Marconi plc'- which is considered to be an internationally recognised 'brand'.

So, in the future 'EEV CCDs' will be sold under the Marconi flag.  For those of you who still recall the original 'GEC' CCDs, this will be yet another undesired change.  Sorry, but it has happened with effect from today- we are now known as-
     ' Marconi Applied Technologies'.

However, nothing changes internally and so the usual devices will be sold, by the usual team of in-house experts.  In fact, we hope that investment in our activity may reap more dividends in the near future.  If it was otherwise, then I'd be posting my CV up here!

The web site will reflect these changes; the new CCD link is:-

If you want any more information, please feel free to contact me, as usual.

Best Regards,
Paul
