Saffery Champness were the reporting accountants for the admission, completing the move according to a tight timetable, with a team led by Charles Simpson, head of corporate finance, and Niraj Patel.

Simpson says that there were a number of accounting and legal issues that were successfully resolved prior to the admission. He believes it is a very positive move for Microsaic and a key element of the company’s strategic development.

Finley says that Microsaic is ‘targeting a number of applications from pharmaceuticals to energy’ adding that the company is ‘looking to get our systems in to those industries in the next twelve months.’
