The flotation will be a boost for the junior AIM market, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, but has been hit by changes to inheritance tax rules in Labour’s Budget.

The founders also have an eye on the goal set by the Ministry of Defence of directing a quarter of procurement spending to small and medium-sized businesses. Reeves hopes to form consortia with other small and mid-size firms to bid for MoD contracts.
