Scots invaders of Olympia reveal their identities!

You wanted to know who the thirteen Bravehearts were - the gang who booked exhibition space under the Mobile Excellence, or MX, logo, at EWT? At last, we can tell you. They've come clean ...

The thirteen delegate companies, we remarked earlier "might be suspected of having clubbed together to buy one large booth rather than thirteen smaller ones". But there, we left it. We were all caught up in the rush to get to Olympia on a day when there were no Tube train services, and the list of companies had to be typed in, Web URLs and all. We ran.

Of course, we felt very remorseful about this ... and so stopped by the megabooth to ask if they could send us an electronic version of their list. And here, now, courtesy of MX publicity guru Kathryn Wyllie, is the list:
