For the year ended 30 June 2021, pre-tax profit was £1.5 million from a loss of £0.2 million grew 9% to £36.5 million.

'The second half of the financial year saw a period of particularly pleasing growth with revenue growing 19% in the six month period, despite significant FX headwinds,' the company said.
