EMC helps FISH to grow

After some time away from business, Charles James, a founder shareholder of Axiom Connection Limited which EMC helped to sell in 2006, is once again working his magic with digital imaging software, but this time in the world of CSI forensics.

Charles has teamed up with an old university friend, Doug Reid and his family, to develop a suite of products known as FISH (Forensic Imaging Sensing Hub) which can be used to harvest evidence from a crime scene, have it analysed and then replayed in court.

A number of UK police forces and law enforcement agencies in other parts of the world, including America, are already using it.   

EMC Kent Director Desmond High, who worked with colleague Terry Rainback on the 2006 sale of Axiom to Silverwire Holding AG headquartered in Geneva, is acting as an advisor to the FISH team.

Charles said: “We have kept in touch with Desmond since the sale of Axiom and felt that he and EMC would be able to help us manage the growth of the company.

“It is vital to have the right advisors involved from the outset. We can see a huge number of market possibilities, but how we manage those opportunities with finite resources will be critical to our success. Desmond has also introduced us to the Growth Accelerator programme which means we can use EMC’s services in a coaching capacity to help us develop our business plan.”
