My best business decision

Our admission to AIM in 2004 acted as an incentive to adopt transparent reporting processes. During three years on AIM, we established a track record for corporate governance that was way ahead of what was expected of an AIM company.

We made the decision to move the business to the Main Market last July. The fact that we had already complied with every form of best practice, including IFRS [International Financial Reporting Standards], made this incredibly easy, as we didn’t have to do anything new. There were no ongoing costs, no hurdles and we no longer have to pay any nomad fees, so you could even say we’re marginally better off.
