A Brighton e-learning company that won a contract with the Royal Mail to deliver internet access to 200,000 workers is in line for two awards.

Futuremedia's Learning For All package has been nominated for the most successful new benefits launch and the most effective use of a voluntary benefits plan at the Employee Benefits Magazine awards to be held at the end of next month.

Futuremedia, based in Nile Street, could make more than £3 million from the three-year Royal Mail deal depending on how many workers take up the scheme.

The Government wants to improve computer literacy in the workforce and make sure as many people as possible have access to the internet.

Chief executive Mats Johansson said the nominations were a "great accomplishment".

Futuremedia's customers include Britvic, BT, Bupa, Channel 4, Ikea and the NHS.
