We\u2019re delighted that BTL Chairman Bob Gomersall features in the October issue of Yorkshire Business Insider as Entrepreneur of the Month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the article Bob discusses the journey that led him from physics teacher to founder of BTL, and how the company that started life creating audiometers came to move into the educational space, initially providing resources on diskettes, then CD ROMs, making BTL a pioneer at the time.
