Significant events
- “On 1 July 2026 the company acquired all the shares of Site-Eye Time-Lapse Limited for total cash consideration of £2.7million, funded from existing cash and borrowings. Site-Eye Time-Lapse Limited specialises in Time-Lapse cameras and filming for construction projects. The acquisition will be accounted for as a business combination, because the transaction occurred after the 31 October 2025 no amounts related to this acquisition are included in the accompanying financial statements.”
