James van den Bergh, TruFin CEO, said:

“I am pleased to report that following the significant restructuring and personnel changes that have occurred over the last six months the Group is experiencing pleasing growth. There is increasing demand for the financial solutions our subsidiaries offer and discussions with a number of partners, both debt funders and origination partners, are progressing. Losses are in line with expectations and the Group will benefit further from a period of corporate stability, allowing the TruFin subsidiaries to focus on realising their full potential.

Later this month we will be updating shareholders on the £5.0m return of value, announced on 17 April 2019, with an update on the future strategy day.”
