HAY Systems (HSL), the Scottish mobile messaging specialist whose technology is used in Indonesia to send emergency tsunami alerts, has revealed expansion plans that will take its staff numbers to 45 and its turnover up to around £5.5 million over the next three years.
Mark Hay, the founder and chief executive of the 12-year-old Livingston-based company, said that the UK private sector has been slow to adopt SMS (Short Message Service) technology for businesses, but over the past year there has been a surge in demand.
