certainly does raise concerns for long term investors. In the short term even the article highlights its business as usual.
My concern if I was a long term investor from that article would be the potential threat of angel funding/money. I dont personally believe that the ability to attract and employ skilled labour as a massive issue, particularly as the current Govt have stated their intention to remain an open nation for skilled labour to come live and work. Even worst case scenario ie a rigid visa/points system, would not neccesarilly be problematic, as essentially the whole point of a points based system is to ensure those higher educated skilled labour are still able to make it into the country by the very fact they would score a high number of "points"
My area of concern around "angel funding" would only occur if we do not thrive outside the eu. If we happen to stagnate or receed economically then certainly funding may be potentially an issue in this industry, especially for smaller firms looking at funding. But as the hardman and edison reports allude to, there may be potential for co-operation with larger firms before needing to raise further cash. I suppose also trx being fully funded for 2017 is certainly beneficial.
Either way I would have hoped to have my sell by then, only hoping for a 4-5p uptick and that will be a nice little profit.
