Revenue for the year through March was expected to jump by more than 75% to £30.0m.
Basic earnings per share would increase 'by more than 20% notwithstanding the increase in shares in issue in June 2017 to fund acquisitions', the company said.

'These results reflect both the organic growth we anticipated and the expected growth from our strategic acquisitions and have produced a strong uplift in earnings per share.'
