Cork company Everseen recorded significant growth last year, almost doubling its turnover to €23.3m according to new accounts.

From its headquarters in Blackpool, and through research centres in Timisoara, Romania, and Belgrade in Serbia, Everseen has developed video-camera technology that monitors self-service checkouts for items that were not scanned, thus reducing errors and thefts. Such errors and thefts cost retailers up to €40bn each year.
