Significant events
- “During 2024, the Company continued its growth into mainland Europe with an innovative digital solution for a DP World terminal to meet the requirements of a new Roll-on Roll-off (RORO) service. The Company continued to grow its customer base for its customs solutions and continued with its strategic project to transition its core legacy platform for the UK onto the DP World global platform.”
- “The Company engaged with UK Government on its Single Trade Window programme to maximise the value that the Company and other operators in its segment can provide to both Government and commercial stakeholders.”
- “The Company's results for 2024 reflect a change in group accounting policy to capitalise digital assets at group level. As a result of the change in group accounting policy assets were transferred at Net Book Value to DT World LLC as the IP is owned centrally in Dubai.”
