RE: Markerstudy FCA Governance concerns21 Feb 2026 09:17
@Davethehorse, thanks for sharing the Markerstudy FCA article, just read it again, it mentions weaknesses in its leadership, governance and financial controls. As I understand Pollen Street are the main share holder, if so I am surprised this has been allowed to happen being Pollen is a public company - I looked deeper into the Markerstudy group and their group of companies, some of them owe a significant amount of money to Markerstudy under the control of the same CEO Kevin Spencer - One of these companies Sqib Ltd had a brief stint in administration and at the time it owed 19 million to Markerstudy, the administration report makes an interesting read - Pollen also had involvement with a company called Onto which ended in administration - I understand growth is the game - but that also comes with risks.
