Joint Venture

February 2005 SONOVISION-ITEP and PENNANT have set up a Joint Venture company called PENNANT SONOVISION-ITEP Limited in response to demand from European aerospace industry clients

The creation of this 50/50 joint venture - PENNANT SONOVISION-ITEP Limited – is consistent with SONOVISION-ITEP’s stated strategy of establishing a solid European presence in the processing and presentation of technical and logistical information.

Based at Filton, PENNANT SONOVISION-ITEP Limited will be headed up by Steve Brown, who will report to a board of directors with equal representation from SONOVISION-ITEP and PENNANT. PENNANT PLC has sites in Aberdeen, Manchester, Cheltenham and Southampton and specializes in:

• The design and production of training courses, CBT and simulation training systems,
