Dear Sir or Madam,

In the "Annual Report & Accounts 2004" of "VI Group Ltd" (released
2005-01-23) it is reported on page 4 that: [1]

"The Department of Trade & Industry awarded a grant of £81,000 for
the development of modelling technologies particularly applicable
to areas of mould design that are not easily accessible to users of
current precise modelling techniques. It is anticipated that this
project will come to fruition in late 2006."

I have been unable to locate any further references to this from
either the company (now known as "Vero Software Ltd") or the
Department for Business and Enterprise website.

Please can you send me all details you can about this grant in
terms of its application and any reports done afterwards.

Thank you,

Francis

Dear Phillips Ann (Mrs A) IWS,

Thank you for your response, and for kindly including the South
West RDA's FOI email address.

I have filed a new request with the South West RDA [1], so you do
not need to take this matter further at this stage.
