Notable quotes
“At Formalize, we're building a future where automation and AI simplify governance, risk and compliance for European businesses without ever compromising on security or the local expertise that defines us. Our ability to scale and deliver value to thousands of companies places us at the forefront of Europe's regulatory landscape.”
“We're delighted to welcome Pardus into the underwriting division. Their commercial combined specialisation enhances our product suite and brings fresh capability that we know our broker partners want. With strong organic growth potential and a highly experienced team, Pardus is an excellent fit for our strategy.”
“At £50m returns for West Hill investors will be 12.5x assuming no future growth in the value of Starling shares once issued but multiples could in due course be significantly higher on moderately conservative assumptions of future share price growth.”
