Nick Kingsbury, Chairman of Accumuli, commented: “This has been a period of considerable progress for Accumuli, having grown the business in a short time. The consolidation and rebranding of the business is now complete and this gives us a good foundation from which to move forward. We have made good progress to date in the first part of our strategy to create a successful Managed Security Services business with a significant component of recurring revenues and we are well placed to achieve results in line with expectations for the full year. Whilst the general economic outlook continues to look mixed at best, we have identified specific market segments which we believe offer growth opportunities to us.”
