AGM Statement
Inspiration Healthcare Group plc (AIM:IHC), the global medical technology company, provides the following statement from the Chairman, Mr Mark Abrahams , ahead of its Annual General Meeting (AGM), which is being held at 11.30 a.m. today:
"At the time of our Final results in April this year, I commented that our financial year had started well and was in line with our expectations with a strong order book across the Group, albeit that we recognised that there would be challenges as the world continued to deal with the impact from the Covid-19 pandemic. I can now confirm that the start to the financial year has been more than pleasing with interest in our products remaining high and that our order book remains strong.
Most recently we were very pleased to announce that Project Wave had recruited its first patient, remembering that this is the first time our Group has conducted a clinical trial of a product it has designed prior to CE marking. Also, we have announced that we received approvals for the SLE6000 ventilators in Japan and China and at the same time have reported on the positive progress being made on the integration with our new colleagues at SLE and the impact this is having on the wider Group. All of these give us confidence for this financial year and beyond.
The planned investment in the business is gaining momentum and it is exciting to see the concepts for the new factory layouts and offices taking shape where we will soon be able to showcase great British technology and where we can continue to work towards achieving our strategic goals with enthusiasm and developing the business further."
