Scott Winner, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"I'm pleased to report that in 2022 the Group delivered top line revenue growth combined with strong efficiency gains delivered in prior periods. This growth was generated primarily from our Commercial product division where we have had strong uptake of our consultancy and managed service offering.
On the new business front, we added three customers to our web-based digital content distribution platform and encouragingly, have also simplified the upgrade process for customers looking to migrate to more advanced SaaS-based solutions. Sales pipeline activity is encouraging, and we are actively looking to build on the revenue growth reported in 2022."
