The update reveals group NFI rose to £6.6m from £1.6m in 2017, with revenue up 40% on the previous year to £9.2m and losses before tax down 55% to £700k.

Elaborating on the group’s performance, CEO Mike Brennan said: “Our 2018 unaudited results evidence our continued positive momentum, as a result of consistently delivering high quality innovative solutions for clients. There is positive trajectory in topline growth and a further significant reduction of losses.

“At EBITDA level, we are confident that we will see losses reduce as NFI continues to rise in 2019. We continue to invest in talent to support the growth in the company, which impacts costs in the short term, but operational efficiencies continue to kick-in and we maintain a tight control over costs.”
