So they made an attempt to take Nearmap to the world a year ago, and as you concluded in your post, Europe embraced them wholeheartedly and the European partners are noticeably absent.

Maybe Simon et al will have to plan another junket to follow up on the silent , non existent partners.

Simon also visited the US if I recall correctly, and that trip also achieved a similar outcome as far as has been revealed.

Hiring more and more staff simply suggests that he is hoping that others can achieve what he can't.

This is truly a sad and sorry situation.
