Borg-Grech Events' photographic system has won wide acclaim after being introduced at the Falkirk Wheel and Edinburgh Zoo.

The company has developed wireless technology to instantly transmit professionally-taken images from the camera to computer, meaning they can be displayed on screen and printed for the customer as either photographs or mementos within seconds of the picture being taken.

And now, the firm is aiming to sign deals with other leading visitor attractions and event organisers in Scotland which, it is predicted, will see turnover over the next three years swell from £250,000 to £700,000 and the number of employees jump from 10 to 30.

Paul Borg-Grech, who founded the firm in 1988, designed the system after he was brought in as a consultant to transform the photographic operation at The Falkirk Wheel in 2005.

British Waterways, which runs the tourist attraction, was so impressed that Paul was asked to run the operation full-time.

Paul said: "Our successes at The Falkirk Wheel and Edinburgh Zoo have proved just how effective our technology is.

"Visitors to both these attractions really respond to the fact that they can see their pictures displayed instantly which means that more sales are generated.

"Previously, you would have to wait until the pictures were downloaded onto a computer which caused delays and that inevitably meant potential customers drifted away."

Carole Keltie, manager of The Falkirk Wheel said: "The service has been a great success and added value to the overall customer experience at the Wheel.

"Visitors from across the world are delighted to be able to take home such a personal memento of their time at the Falkirk Wheel on the very day they visit."
