Plans follow completion of a major integration deal for the group to supply Nigerian broadcaster M-Net, the country’s leading Broadcaster and owner of well-loved national brand SuperSport. C2S Systems supplied a studio complex and two OB units to the broadcaster, built in their Leeds integration facility, the second of which was shipped at the end of October in a deal worth upwards of $20M USD.
Ian Cunliffe has been appointed as General Manager, Sales & Operations at the new office and has already begun work at the new site, employing 10 new staff to get business underway.
“C2S Nigeria is an incredibly exciting project, we are seeing a massive amount of growth in Nigeria and surrounding countries already. We saw an opportunity for WTS to provide a whole range of services here, so we’re making a significant investment in the region. Our strength is our expertise: There is not a single organisation in Nigeria offering the extent of services we intend to provide or which has the backing and support of a substantial European parent. Our experience, resources and contacts have been established over many years, we’re in a very good position with a great deal to offer the African market,” Cunliffe commented.
