The AIM-traded company said its gross profit saw substantial growth for the six months 30 September, rising 34% to £7.7m.

The board said the interim dividend matched the dividend paid in July 2022.

"I am pleased with the company's strong growth during the first half of this financial year and the successful integration and rebranding of Precise Protect, now Tavistock Protect, which is set to be a major contributor to future profitability of the group," said chief executive officer Brian Raven.

"The company's cash resources have been bolstered recently by receipt of the second of three deferred consideration payments from Titan Wealth."
