OSD Ensure Success In Global Market

Employees at a Londonderry data research and tele-marketing centre, which has been assisted by Invest Northern Ireland, have helped to ensure the success of a big Asian investment conference.

One Stop Data (OSD), an inward investment company based at Skeoge Business Park, worked with the host government to ensure the attendance of key global decision makers at the conference. OSD has its head office in Ewell, near Epsom in Surrey and recently celebrated its first year operating at Derry.

OSD's success in global markets was outlined by Pauline Murphy, the company's managing director and founder, during a meeting with Des Gartland, Invest NI's North West Regional Office Manager. Invest NI has provided a range of financial and other practical support to the company including for international marketing to assist OSD's growth in Northern Ireland.

Mrs Murphy said: "In the first year of business in Northern Ireland we’ve surpassed the key targets set when we started up here in terms of business to business and client telemarketing projects. The results far outweigh any expectations we had a year ago. Invest NI's support for the business and particularly our marketing drive has been invaluable.

"In addition to a highly trained team of callers, we have achieved a global expertise not found anywhere else in the industry. Language capabilities from French and Spanish to more specialised language requests, make the One Stop tele-research team here the only one of its kind with such quality and international reach. The work to ensure the success of the Asian investment conference is an excellent example of this dedication and expertise."
