The London-based company said the placing and admission will enable it to execute its growth plans, further enhance its profile with existing and potential customers and assist with the recruitment, retention and incentivisation of existing and future employees.
"Becoming a publicly listed company will raise the profile of Made Tech, and enhance our ability to serve our existing clients across UK government. In addition, it will support the next stage of our development as we seek to diversify our offer to customers, open new offices across the UK and hire senior business leaders to drive our expansion," said Chief Executive Rory MacDonald.
