The Oomph offers falls reduction exercise therapy sessions, dance therapy sessions and art therapy sessions. These sessions are designed for residents living within the care sector.

The business believes each session should provide an hour to an hour and a half of joy in what can be quite a silent life.

Nithin Thomas (SQR Systems Limited)

SQR Systems offers a new approach to improving national security and public safety by empowering individuals with enhanced information. The business achieves this using its proprietary encryption technology together with cutting-edge compression techniques to produce innovative software solutions. The current consumer market offers powerful portable devices with extraordinary processing powers and the current economic climate has made these off-the-shelf products much more attractive in the security industry due to the low cost of deployment over custom solutions. The software enables security forces and first responders to stay connected to secure, real-time information using portable devices such as smartphones and tablet PCs.

Comisserations to Charlotte Nicol (Experience the Arts), Christina Larkin (co-deal), Toledo Hung (Tipgain), Gavin Edley (www.storagepricecomparison.com ) and Richard Hewitt (SpinCycle Solutions Limited ) who were shortlisted but did not win this time around.
