BMM Australia Asia-Pacific reports significant growth in 2011

BMM International announced today that its Australia Asia-Pacific (APAC) regional businesses, led by BMM Australia, has achieved significant growth targets in 2011. “This is a particularly impressive performance by the Australian, Macau & Singapore teams because our standards and targets are so high, even after many consecutive years of growth,” said Martin Storm, President & CEO of BMM International. “Importantly, we invested in resources and infrastructure to service more regulators, manufacturers and certify more products in 2012.” Kirk White, Executive Vice President Operations, Australia Asia-Pacific said “Over the past 12 months we have grown our client base significantly in addition to strengthening our regulatory relationships within the Australian and Asia-Pacific regulated gaming markets. Our business growth in Australia, and more recently throughout Asia, has been very satisfying and we expect this to continue throughout 2012 given our strong investments in people.” White added “For BMM its all about meeting our goals in quality, performance, transparency and continuing our commitment to the integrity of the gaming industry.” In 2011 White introduced BMM’s Technical Engineer Training Program to the APAC region. This program enables skilled testers to support critical projects as well as adding qualified resources to new and ongoing projects.

BMM had an outstanding presence with 13 BMM executives and sales representatives in attendance, from our offices in North America, Canada, Spain, Austria and South Africa. Over the three days in London these staff took part in no less than 143 business meetings and conversations. This year ICE featured more than 400 exhibiting companies active in the online, mobile, betting, bingo, casino, lottery and street gaming sectors. BMM was proud to display a newly designed booth, centrally positioned between the two main exhibition areas. The booth made a big splash, featuring a dramatic curved structure and lighted pods with bigger than life-size photos of some of our staff. The booth acted as a venue for staff to meet and greet clients with six seated meeting areas.
