LoopUp Contract Wins, Business Update & Notice of Interim Results

 

–  Major new contract win with one of the world's top-5 law firms

–  Expanded partnership to FY2022 with C&W Communications

–  Launch of new online plans for LoopUp Meetings

 

LoopUp Group plc (LSE AIM: LOOP), the premium cloud communications provider, is pleased to provide the following business update and notice of its upcoming interim results for the period ended 30 June 2020 on Wednesday 23 September 2020.

 

Major Customer Wins:

The Group is pleased to announce that it has signed a significant new contract with one of the world's top-5 law firms. Following a successful pilot with 300 users, LoopUp Meetings will now be rolled out globally with the potential to become one of the Group's largest accounts.

 

This contract follows two other top-100 global law firm wins secured during July and August 2020, demonstrating LoopUp's continued success to expand its footprint in the Professional Services market.

 

Partnership expansion with Cable & Wireless:

LoopUp has also successfully expanded its existing partnership with C&W Communications, one of the leading telecommunications providers in the Caribbean and Latin America, in a new contract which will run through to the end of FY2022.

 

'Conferencing on Demand', powered by LoopUp – a white-labelled version of LoopUp Meetings – will now be included in C&W's core Unified Communications and Collaboration portfolio of products, with expanded distribution across 16 countries: Anguilla, Antigua & Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Dominica, Grenada, Jamaica, Montserrat, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent & the Grenadines, Turks & Caicos, Trinidad & Tobago, and later this year, Panama.

 

This expanded partnership also involves the internal deployment of LoopUp Meetings as another advanced conferencing tool for C&W's own internal corporate use.

 

Launched new online plans for LoopUp Meetings:

The Group has launched two new online plans for LoopUp Meetings to promote lead generation via the product's established network effect. These new offerings are aimed at individual users within target market professional services firms, who experience the product as guests of existing customers, and who then wish to try out the product for hosting their own online meetings.

 

The Free Plan is restricted to domestic meetings via the LoopUp join link with a maximum of 10 guests. The Business Plan upgrade is charged at a promotional level of £15/$15/€15 per month, which then removes the Free Plan's restrictions.

 

This move provides an opportunity for more target market users to try out and experience LoopUp Meetings in a freemium model and for 'land-and-expand' new business in target market accounts.

 

 

Notice of interim results:

The Group will announce its interim results for the period ended 30 June 2020 on Wednesday 23 September 2020.

 

Steve Flavell and Michael Hughes, co-CEOs of LoopUp Group, commented:

 

"We are pleased to announce the Group has secured these important contract wins demonstrating the continued momentum at LoopUp. Great communications have always been at the heart of successful organisations, now more than ever. We are delighted to be chosen and relied on to provide simple and secure business-critical communications in these challenging times."

("Biome", the "Group" or the "Company")

Biome Technologies plc wins a new grant of £273k to support scale-up of its novel compostable bioplastic materials

 

Biome announces that its Bioplastics division ( www.biomebioplastics.com ) has been awarded funding of £273,000 from the UK Government's Innovate UK to support a new £350,000 collaborative project to scale-up its novel compostable bioplastic materials with the University of Nottingham's Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering.

In line with expanding Biome Bioplastics materials portfolio using novel technology, this funding will accelerate the testing of the commercial viability of the three most exciting candidate materials in the division's current research portfolio. This project will use microwave technology in the development of an efficient, industrially scalable manufacturing process and will conduct further larger scale testing at the Biorenewables Development Centre in York.

Since 2013, Biome's Bioplastics division has directed more than six million pounds of research and development funding, supported by various grants and in association with a number of leading UK universities, towards a new portfolio of bio-based and biodegradable materials. This work is focused on the replacement of aromatic co-polymers currently widely used in the market with a new generation of heteroaromatic polyesters, which have the potential for differentiated functional performance coupled with tailored biodegradation.

It is anticipated that this project will start in October 2020 and will be completed within two years.

Paul Mines, Biome Technologies' Chief Executive commented:

"This latest research project is an important enabling step in understanding the performance and functionality of Biome's most exciting novel polymers. We believe these materials could represent an important addition to the business's product range in due course and will bring benefits to manufacturers, consumers and the environment."

Derek Irvine, Professor of Materials Chemistry, Faculty of Engineering, University of Nottingham commented:

"Developing differentiated and commercially viable new products and processes, which have sustainability as a key focus, is one of our core interests and capabilities. We are excited to be working with Biome to apply our skills and knowledge to these interesting new sustainable polymers."

Top Three Ranking in SPOTT Transparency Assessment

 

Notice of Results

 

Woodbois Limited (AIM: WBI), the African focused forestry and timber trading company, is pleased to announce it has ranked 3rd in the Sustainability Policy Transparency Toolkit ('SPOTT'') ESG policy transparency assessments for the worldwide timber and pulp industries.

SPOTT, the online platform created by the Zoological Society of London ('ZSL'), annually assesses multiple worldwide timber and pulp producers and traders on the public disclosure of their policies, operations and commitments to Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") best practice.

 

The recognition of Woodbois' ESG practices and the transparency of our disclosures is a welcome endorsement of our practices, and further enhancing these high standards lies at the centre of management's goals on behalf of all stakeholders. Woodbois was recognised as the highest-ranked public company.

 

The Company welcomes the publication of assessments from bodies such as the ZSL and has made a number of commitments in its recently published Sustainability Report for 2019 to further align operating practices with specific UN Sustainable Development Goals.

 

As the importance of sustainable forestry management increasingly becomes a focal point in the mitigation of deforestation and climate change, Woodbois is dedicated to being at the forefront of transparency and best practice.

 

Chairman and CEO Paul Dolan said: "We are delighted to announce that, in only our second year of assessment, our ranking has improved to 3rd place out of 103 companies in the SPOTT timber producers table. We consistently strive to improve the standards of our ESG policies, providing transparency and good governance along with our sustainability focussed operating model. The recognition of this by SPOTT independently validates these policies and we have a secure foundation to build upon."

Significant contract wins

Two digital transformation projects to be delivered for HM Land Registry

 

The Panoply Holdings PLC, the technology-enabled services group focused on digital transformation, is pleased to announce two significant contracts signed with HM Land Registry by Group companies FutureGov and Notbinary.

 

The two contracts were awarded to FutureGov and Notbinary in response to separate bids placed on the Government's digital marketplace and are worth a value of up to £3.2m and £1.6m respectively. The contracts, which are already accounted for in the Board's forecasts, are expected to be up to 24 months long.

 

The Group's ability to secure these contracts validates the strength of its differentiated offering to the public sector and demonstrates the increasing scale and value of the projects it is now delivering.

 

FutureGov was selected over 25 other bids and will be the client's user-centred design research and capability partner within its digital and data transformation programme. Notbinary was selected over 36 other bids to become HM Land Registry's partner specialising in Product Management, helping to build knowledge and capability within the organisation in the delivery and transformation of digital service development and the continuous improvement of user centred land registration services.

 

These two projects demonstrate well the different types of opportunities available to the Group and which its two full stack brands: FutureGov and Foundry4 (which Notbinary now sits under), have been designed to address. FutureGov focuses on CEO/COO type economic buyers looking at digital transformation through the lens of organisational change and end-to-end service design including technology whereas Foundry4 is focused on CTO/CIOs looking to enable digital transformation through the adoption of hyper scale cloud, data analytics, machine learning and automation.

 

Neal Gandhi, CEO of The Panoply commented:

 

"To win both bids and secure contracts worth up to £4.8m shows that our approach of bringing together experts across the full spectrum of digital transformation services is resonating with clients. In this case, HM Land Registry know that they have world class experts in user centred design as well as product management yet in a single group that has proven its ability to work to bring those two work streams together as required to deliver an end to end service. 

 

This is our second contract win worth more than £4m so far this financial year and it is in addition to the £13m in new contract wins announced in the trading update issued on July 21 2020. The win gives us further confidence in our forecasts for the current financial year."

CROMA SECURITY SOLUTIONS GROUP PLC

("CSSG" or the "Group")

Reinstatement of Dividend and Contract Win

Croma Security Solutions Group Plc, the total security services provider, is pleased to announce the reinstatement of the Company's interim dividend. On 19 March 2020, as a precaution against the potential impact of Covid-19, the Company cancelled the interim dividend announced alongside the Interim Results. Having now completed the financial year to 30 June 2020, it is clear the impact of Covid-19 on Group has been light.

As a consequence, the Company intends to pay an interim dividend of 0.75p per share on 4 September 2020 to shareholders with an ex-dividend date of 20 August 2020 and an associated record date of 21 August 2020.

The Company is also pleased to confirm that post-year end, Croma Vigilant has won a guarding contract from Savills to manage the security for the Edinburgh St James centre. A £1 billion redevelopment, the centre is a major scheme in the heart of Edinburgh and is due to open in Spring 2021. The guarding contract is for 3 years, worth £1.3 million annually and commences from 2 April 2021.

The centre includes retail, commercial and residential buildings and under the new contract, Croma Vigilant will provide a range of its premium guarding services including PROception. Led by ex-policewoman Ruth McGowan, PROception was launched in 2019 and brings the amalgamation of 3 key disciplines: reception, concierge and security, to create the modern front of house professional.

Chairman, Sebastian Morley, said, "At the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in March we took the decision to cancel the dividend until we gained greater visibility on the impact it might have. Pleasingly, the impact has been slight, due in part to the organisation and flexibility of our teams which maintained all services at full strength. Having now completed the financial year, we expect we will deliver a good financial performance and with no borrowings and record levels of cash we are comfortable in re-instating the interim dividend.

The Edinburgh St James centre security contract was a highly competitive tender and as a team we are delighted to have been chosen and believe our premium security services coupled with the range of additional capabilities we are able to provide were instrumental in securing this prestigious contract."

Immotion Group PLC

Immotion Group plc

 

("Immotion Group", the "Company")

 

On back of demand, Immotion launches commercial UV cleaning solution – Uvisan

 

Immotion Group, the UK-based immersive entertainment group is pleased to announce, following its trading update of last week, the launch of a range of proprietary UV anti-bacterial cleaning cabinets, under the Uvisan brand.

 

As per the statement last week, as a direct response to the COVID-19 crisis the Company has designed and had exclusively manufactured a range of proprietary UV disinfectant cabinets. The new product was originally designed for the sole purpose of cleansing VR headsets for its larger partner locations, predominantly Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas. The Company realised that the cleansing of VR headsets was going to be important to maximise both operational throughput as well as keep customers safe. Following the announcement last week, the Company has received numerous external commercial enquiries. As a direct result it has decided to sell the cabinets to third party companies under the Uvisan name.

 

Following exceptional demand, the Company in  the last week sold 10 cabinets, including four cabinets to Chichester University, who have purchased the cabinets to protect sensitive equipment against COVID-19 infection.

 

The University approached Uvisan as they quickly realised multimedia equipment such as microphones, laptops and speakers cannot be treated with traditional solution-based alcohol cleaning materials, and as such they needed a proven solution for this problem. The Uvisan cabinets provide a clinically proven alternative to protect students, staff and business partners. 

 

Chichester is the first University to be supplied by Uvisan, although we are starting to see enquiries from other academic faculties.

 

The cabinets are available in a variety of sizes with the largest able to accommodate, cleanse and charge up to 30 laptops in a matter of minutes. The Uvisan cabinets range in price from £2,399 to £3,199.

 

The Uvisan cabinet will provide Chichester University with medical-grade light spectrum cabinets that have been proven to kill 99.9% of all pathogens including virus and bacteria, removing the need for alcohol and solution based products that could harm sensitive technology.

 

The Company has tested the cabinets on a variety of equipment, including Motion capture suit components, Microphones, Keyboards, Cameras, PC peripherals, Headphones and VR headsets to name but a few items. Due to demand a UV clothing cabinet has now been designed with a view to supplying sectors where the cleansing of uniforms, and staff clothing is essential.

 

The Uvisan process works by harnessing ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI), which is a disinfection method that uses short-wavelength ultraviolet (ultraviolet C or UVC) light to kill or inactivate micro-organisms by destroying nucleic acids and disrupting their DNA,  leaving them unable to perform vital cellular functions. UVGI is used in a variety of applications, such as food, air, and water purification.

 

A cleaning cycle using UVGI takes between 3 to 10 minutes (dependent on the number of devices and object surface complexity) and can sanitise up to 100 phones, 50 tablets or 30 VR headsets in a single cycle.

 

Arek Antoniak, Operations Director – Immotion said: "When the pandemic hit we knew we had to find a solution for our larger VR Partners, our team set about designing a cabinet from scratch and within weeks had created and built the Uvisan range. All the cabinets have undergone extensive clinical testing and are proven to kill 99.9% of bacteria and viruses in a matter of minutes."

 

"The Uvisan solution is ideal for Universities, Schools, TV Studios and effectively any organisation where the use of a solution based cleansing method is not acceptable. We know many organisations need a guarantee that the equipment their staff and customers are using is safe – Uvisan can provide this level of comfort."

 

Rod Matthews from Chichester University said: "At the University of Chichester we take pride in ensuring our students have the safest as well as the best experience across everything we do. Our students can expect to have hands-on experience of high-tech equipment across our entire curriculum, and especially in our innovative eSports, eGames Design, Animation and Film Production facilities. In our state of the art Tech-Park, students get to use high-end industry filming equipment such as motion capture, as well our extensive bespoke computer labs to create and edit films, audio, animation to industry production standards."

 

"We needed a solution that was easy to use and would eradicate bacteria without damaging the sensitive equipment used by our colleagues and students. The Uvisan cabinet was the perfect proven solution allowing us to clean all our equipment in a simple and quick cleaning cycle."

SAF is a specialist International Engineering, Construction, Fabrication, Project Management company operating in the field of Oil & Gas, Oil Refining, Power Generation and Chemical Process Industries.

These panels will be supplied as an easily deployable containerised solution to provide temporary and semi-permanent power, further reducing the reliance on diesel fuel for their operations.

 

Importantly, SAF is also collaborating with the Regional Government of Sindh, Pakistan, to supply renewable clean energy to the province, and at least one of these containerised units is planned to be deployed for this purpose. This in turn could provide the opening for a whole new market for the Company, moving beyond the initial entry point in the oil and gas industry.

 

Ali Salman, MD of SAF Group, commented: "At SAF Group, we strive to be at the forefront of green technology in Pakistan. The use of the Verditek "power in a box" solution to replace diesel generators will contribute to our goal on both our own sites and as part of our collaboration with the Sindh Government, enables us to deploy this solution to bring clean energy to the people of Pakistan at a cost significantly lower than utilising traditional diesel".  

 

Robert Richards, CEO of Verditek, commented: " Verditek is proud and excited to have been chosen to supply its innovative, rapidly deployable power solution, which will  provide 250kW of power from each container.  This will be our first collaboration with the Government of Pakistan and demonstrates the trust they have in our technology to deliver green energy to a remote region of Pakistan.  This order moves us significantly towards my stated goal of achieving free cash flow within 2020."

Lord David Willetts. Chairman commented, "This new contract is very important not only because it represents a much larger follow on order from an existing customer, but because it takes the Company into a new arena, in working on clean energy supply at sovereign country level. This underlines the enormous global opportunity facing Verditek.

("British Honey", "BHC" or the "Company")

 

Global Strategic Licensing and Distribution Agreement signed with English Heritage

 

The British Honey Company plc, the producer of premium British Honey-infused spirits and alcohol sanitiser products, is pleased to announce that it has signed a strategically important four-year Global Licensing and Distribution Agreement with English Heritage. English Heritage is a registered conservation charity which cares for over 400 historic monuments, buildings and places – from world famous prehistoric sites to grand medieval castles, from Roman forts on the edge of an empire to a Cold War bunker – through which, it brings the story of England to life for over 10 million visitors each year.

 

Under the terms of the Agreement, BHC will sell English Heritage branded and trademarked spirits, including gin, vodka, whisky and rum and low alcohol RTDs (Ready-to-Drink products) globally, utilising its established marketing and distribution online and direct sales channels, including into the United States which BHC sees as a key target market and where it has an existing collaboration with List Distillery of Florida, in which BHC has a 10% Shareholding and an agreement to purchase the remaining shareholding. This will facilitate direct access to List's extensive US distribution network.

 

BHC and English Heritage have an established trading relationship dating back to 2016 whereby English Heritage stocked BHC's Honey & Spirits. Subsequently, in 2020, BHC helped to develop and supply English Heritage with its "own label" St Clement's Gin and Elderflower & Rose Gin. BHC also supplies English Heritage with its own Keepr's honey and spirits range, sold through its onsite shops and online.

 

Commenting on the Licensing Agreement, BHC Commercial Director, Oliver Williams said:

"I am delighted to further develop our relationship with such a well-known and highly respected Partner. The English Heritage brand lends itself perfectly to our international marketing and distribution channels, further extending our global reach and we envisage significant opportunities to develop the brand over the next four years and beyond."

 

Kingston Myles, Head of Commercial Development at English Heritage added:

"This new license agreement will grow on an already well-established relationship with the

British Honey Company. We will see English Heritage reach global markets with a unique range

of premium products. We are excited to see this licensee join our portfolio and look forward to

seeing what the future holds."

 

Thomas List, CEO of List Distillery, Fort Myers USA added:

"We are excited to be part of the BHC's English Heritage branded craft spirits distribution channel in America. By combining high quality spirits with the history and culture of English HerItage, we can see great potential for these products in the US. I am convinced that this will be another successful example of BHC and List Distillery working closely together to create enhanced customer value."
