  • Revenues grew 13% to £6.5 million (2024: £5.8 million) reflecting new contract and contract extension wins.

 

  •  Gross margin grew to 49% (2024: 47%) reflecting operational leverage within the business partly offset by an expanded operational footprint in North America designed to support further future growth in this market.

 

  • EBITDA losses reduced 20% to £1.3 million (2024: £1.7 million) reflecting revenue growth in the year of £0.7 million, partly offset by targeted investments designed to sustain and accelerate future revenue growth.
