Pick of AIM For organisations, the cost of taking employees away from the office to conduct training exercises can be crippling, in terms of both the financial and opportunity cost. The e-learning market is worth £472 million in the UK and is forecast to grow 12 per cent this year, but the market for digital learning products is around £5 billion. Education-focused entrepreneur Andy Hasoon has recently turned up as chief executive at Intellego. He intends to build a major player in the digital market, both in the UK and globally.Though training focused, the AIM company he inherited had lost its way. But the debt pile of £1.6 million has now been eliminated, and with new management on board Intellego has refreshed its 'sales leads' – indeed, the prospect pipeline has since doubled. In May it acquired PIXELearning, a 'gamification' business involved in serious games. This is the process of applying serious gaming techniques to the workplace – an area Gartner reckons will be used by 70 per cent of the Global 2000 by 2014.The plan is to develop off-the-shelf products that will be sold via subscription and pay-as-you-go. Research suggests that modern learners want to pick up content in bite-sized pieces – preferably at a time suitable to them.Stake in the marketIntellego has also picked up a stake in the Digital Learning Marketplace (DLM), a new learning platform intended to allow SMEs, corporations and professionals to access their day-to-day learning requirements. It has secured a £740,000 grant from the UK government, and has signed up Pearson Education and Ashridge Business School as participants. The DLM will have global appeal, but as part of a two-year development phase will not be fully operational until 2013.Within its existing business, Intellego has slashed overheads and is now selling products at much higher margins. In the year to March, it returned to the black with a £146,000 pre-tax profit (2010: £1 million loss) on sales down 14per cent to £1.6 million. It has since recorded a 'significant improvement' across all divisions. Hasoon is keeping his acquisition targets close to his chest, but for those that invest now the next few years should provide an interesting ride.Overseas expansion Hammersmith-based ILX Group originally listed as Time2Learn back in 2000, but is now a very different animal. Using a range of software and classroom-based learning, it is a best-practice training company that has trained over 500,000 people across more than 100 countries. ILX is the world's leading provider of PRINCE2 training – a process-based method for project management, which is well regarded and used extensively by UK government. http://www.growthcompany.co.uk/features/1680493/pick-of-aim-by-miles-nolan.thtml

Honestly, what is going on with these pathetic small volume sells on a daily basis? Of course the MMs are exploiting this to the max, resulting in a steady drop in the shareprice. This seems to be hapening to microcaps across the market at the moment. Guess the long term investors just need to keep taking advantage of the situation, but it's hard to have an endless supply of cash!

New year, new name.!! At least with this tiny Aim stock the directors are on the ball, they seem to have sales in their blood! If we can get T/O up with big margins the shares should move upwards.

Thanks boneyone ... What's your source? My top up today by the way at .17p

Name change for Intellego holdings in the New year to Digital Learning Marketplace PLC. This is to take into account the direction of the company, for the future.

[chrisis33] 19/12/2011 11:59

That's a pretty big holding! I've accumulated just over 2 million shares.

[acta_topup] 19/12/2011 11:49

Wish I had the funds, honestly this is madness considering the potential growth story, let alone current profitability. The only thing I can think is that we may have a temporary dip at the time of the interims but equally we could have a substantial surge upward if the outcome is better than expected. Regardless in the medium to long term the shareprice is hideously cheap. I have 13 million but am aiming for 20 million.

[lufc5] 19/12/2011 11:45

Me is topping up....

[acta_topup] 19/12/2011 11:43

[acta_topup] 13/12/2011 13:42

Markets a bit mad and unpredictable at the moment. Small volume sellers dragging down the price of many AIM stocks

[mike_f] 13/12/2011 13:29

It's possible chris but any chance I get to top up sub .2p I will. I think this will be a fantastic share in 2012.
