Outlook
The Group will now continue to make progress across all elements of its business.
GyroMetric, in which the Company owns a 58% interest, though initially experiencing delays in both sales and installations as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, now expects that a number of installations and trials including those at Tarmac and Clarke Energy will proceed as imminent maintenance windows arise at client sites.
Cloudveil Limited ("Cloudveil"), the intelligence services and security risk management business acquired in September 2019, whilst also suffering delays and changes in scopes of work caused by the pandemic, has also experienced an unprecedented level of enquiries for its services from a variety of blue chip companies and other private and public bodies in the UK and Europe, and is at an advanced stage of negotiation of commercial terms with a number of these potential customers.
