Versarien PLC

WHO WE WORK WITH

Versarien PLC is an engineering company creating game-changing engineering solutions. The company’s initial project was developing the process for creating mico-porous metals in the thermal management industry and manufacturing extruded aluminium heat sinks for electronic and computer industries.

WHAT WE DID

We were appointed accountants, tax advisors and auditors for Versarien in its start up.

We helped the company gain approval with HMRC for the Entrepreneurs Investment Scheme. This created a substantial incentive to private individuals and helped finance the company’s research into the porous metal industry.

Within a short period of time, it was clear the company would need to gain proceeds from a formal public offering and list on the AIM market to aid its research and development and capitalise on its potential.

Our team prepared the audited financial information included in marketing the AIM application and admission document.

During the admission period, Steve Humphries, a partner at Griffiths Marshall, was appointed as Finance Director of the company until a formal appointment was made post listing. He was an important part of the board during this critical time, ensuring financial requirements of the listing auditors were met, including the need for the admission documents and company forecasts being prepared in line with the AIM 26 rule.

WHAT THE CLIENT SAID

“We would like to take this opportunity to thank Griffiths Marshall for all their hard work and effort during their appointment as auditors and advisors. They were integral to the company’s set up and development through to listing on the AIM stock market. We could not be happier with their efficiency and availability during this period.

We still use Griffiths Marshall for our Group payroll and grant application audits and hope to continue our relationship for a long time into the future.”
