Debut dividend for Epic - Financial Times
July 2002

"Epic is to pay its first dividend in the current financial year. The company, an e-learning software provider, said it felt confident enough about its future trading prospects to adopt 'a progressive dividend policy'.

It said: 'As government spend continues to increase, especially in education and health, but also across many other government agencies, we have benefited from our position as the primary supplier of e-learning production in this sector.'

Customers include Customs & Excise, the Inland Revenue and regional bodies such as the Welsh Development Agency."
