Profit climbs at Ten Alps UK factual producer Ten Alps put in a strong financial performance in the year ending March 31, reporting a 5% rise in pre-tax profit despite a 1.5% fall in revenue.

Ten Alps said it would continue to drive its business online and aims to further increase margins in the current financial year. The firm is developing online science channel Newton TV, alongside The Open University, The Science Museum and The Royal Institution, and Accountancy TV for the accounting industry. Ten Alps CEO Alex Connock said 2008/09 had been economically volatile but the company had met its financial targets. "The new financial year has commenced with a decent order book," he said. "However, it is too early to assume strong organic growth from existing customers. So this year we intend to continue migrating online, targeting further margin benefits and growth opportunities."
