Leadbay joins forces with All About Group

Leadbay's parent company, Add Momentum Holdings has today joined forces with the All About Group, creating the largest financial services lead generation company in the country. The combined brands, which will trade as Leadbay Media Group, will supply advisers with more than 60,000 leads a month.

The coming together of the two companies will dramatically increase the number of leads currently available to FSA registered finance professionals, and will include more than 45,000 mortgage and loan leads and 15,000 life and income protection related leads a month. The combination of the two companies will enable advisers to continue to buy leads through Leadbay's innovative bidding system, but will also enable those that want a more guaranteed price to obtain fixed price leads using a new, cutting edge, technology platform developed by All About Leads.

The combined company will offer a wider, much more flexible service to mortgage brokers and IFAs of all sizes. The new company is committed to expanding to offer new products and new ways of accessing them in ways that most help the mortgage broker and IFA communities.

In addition to Leadbay, the Group will include:

Money Hospital Ltd - a consumer-focused company aimed at presenting the lighter side of financial services to consumer
All About Wills
All About Insurance

Leadbay Media Group Ltd will be headed up by Rob Ridge, while Grant Stevens will remain as managing director of Leadbay.

Grant Stevens, managing director of Leadbay says, "Our two companies had such complementary strengths that it made sense to bring them together. Together, we have the strength and depth to provide new offerings to financial advisers and brokers in a way that we would not have been able to do before."

Rob Ridge, director of Leadbay Media Group, says, "I am committed to growing this company to the benefit of both the brokers and financial advisers who support us and buy from us, but also our affiliate partners who provide us with leads. Leadbay Media Group remains committed to financial services and will build on the previous success of the two brands while also taking the company into new arenas."

Energiaki Vogiatzis award contract to create largest PV park in Greece

Positive Energy, a long standing Beanstalk Management client, and Conergy cooperate to provide a turn-key solution for the largest Photovoltaic Park in Greece.

Energiaki Vogiatzis S.A. has awarded the contract for the supply of equipment, project design, construction and set in operation to create the largest photovoltaic park in Greece, to the EPC Contractor Positive Energy and to the Greek subsidiary of the German multinational Conergy. This 4,994.88 kWp project constitutes one of the most substantial investments in the photovoltaic sector for the Balkan region and is, at the moment, the largest PV park in Greece.

The photovoltaic park will be built on an area approximately 200,000 square meters in Northern Greece, in the region of Drama. The park will consist of Conergy PowerPlus photovoltaic panels and Conergy CIS 540 S type central inverters. It is estimated that it will produce over 7,100,000kWh per annum.

The project will commence in June 2010 and is expected to be commissioned before the end of the year. The operation of the plant will have substantial environmental benefits - reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 7,000 tons per year, equivalent to the capacity of a 350,000 tree forest.

The Bank of Cyprus is the chief lender of this project and in doing so has demonstrated its continuing support for green investments.
