Welcome to another newsletter from PSS-Europe.

The green shoots of recovery that the media have been talking about seem to be appearing, there have been more enquires for project resource and the recruitment side of the business is becoming more active. PSS-Europe has recently placed consultants with a major telecommunications company and a major high street retailer. The only note of caution being that there will be series of small peaks and troughs before the economy is clear of the current recession.

I met up with a mobile application development company that literally have just set up in business and are looking to start exploiting the rapidly developing application stores. With the iphone going past 1.5 billion downloads, there is definitely a massive customer base out there. If they can make it now they will be very well placed as the market picks up. This is only at the preliminary discussion stage but I am hoping that there is a potential for a joint venture.

This month there are opportunities to join a company that is at the heart of the renewable/low carbon emissions business. A very exciting area as the business focus is accelerating projects from prototype to pre-production. The results from this business will be shaping parts of our lives in the near future.
