Ten Alps targets growth

LONDON-headquartered media group Ten Alps, which was co-founded by Bob Geldof, is planning to expand through acquisition in the Irish market this year.

The group, which established a small Irish presence last year, is looking to become — in its own words — “a big specialist communications player” here over the coming years.

Ten Alps’s business is split between its communications and broadcast divisions — covering everything from online advertising and contract publishing to high-end events management, and also looking after television production.
