MILESTONE GROUP PLC
“Milestone” or the “Company”
New Contract
AIM quoted Milestone Group PLC (AIM:MSG), the digital solutions and technology agency, announces that it has entered into a consultancy contract with UK company, Ultra Green Oil Recovery Limited (“UGOR”), to provide UGOR with a mobile solution required to co-ordinate its environmental initiative focused on cleanup operations in the Gulf of Mexico.
UGOR has established a British-led initiative to help in the cleanup operation in the Gulf of Mexico in response to the effects of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil disaster. UGOR, a British-based environmental research and development company has pooled its resources with its US science partner Algaeventure Systems (“AVS”), which has an established relationship with the US military and the US Department of Energy, to provide a rapid and scalable method of clearing-up and collecting oil from the sea surface before it reaches the coast using local fishing boats. Milestone has been engaged to provide consultancy services in relation to the provision of a mobile solution to enable UGOR to co-ordinate its operations.
Antony Blakey, Ultra Green's Executive Chairman stated:
“The challenge of saving the Gulf of Mexico coast has brought together some of the most exciting technologies in the world and some of the world’s leading individuals in logistics. What has become apparent to us in bringing the team together is that, when dealing with large logistical projects such as in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the Falklands War, they did not have access to a bespoke management software solution to assist with their efforts. We are therefore delighted to have Milestone on board to assist with the rapid build and deployment of the necessary mobile solution required for this complex logistical operation.
This mobile solution will allow us to rapidly integrate the US and UK based teams and give us effective real-time management of our resources with a secure and robust audit trail.
With a growing number of US based beach defence volunteers signing-up to our website www.gulfclearup.com, which we soon expect to run into thousands, this system will be core to make delivery of this mammoth task much easier."
Deborah White, Chief Executive, Milestone Group Plc, commented:
“This project enables Milestone to demonstrate the value of its access to specialist skill sets which, when combined with our technology partnerships, offer the potential to rapidly deliver bespoke mobile and digital solutions that integrate and exploit all communication platforms.
Our understanding of the process and the ability to execute swiftly has the potential to make a significant difference to the outcome of UGOR’s effort.”
