The global incident and emergency management market is growing at a compound annual growth rate of 6.7% and is expected to be worth $171.8 billion by 2026 (Source: MarketsandMarkets, 2021).

The Company is led by a very capable team, and they have made good commercial progress to date. Revenues are backed up by strong recurring revenues and a positive deal pipeline of prospective new clients. We are delighted to have structured a debt and equity solution which will support the delivery of management’s ambitious targets.”
