Amid a backdrop of global uncertainty and subdued trading activity, the United Kingdom's market has shown resilience, with the FTSE 100 navigating through turbulent waters marked by political shifts and economic cues. In such an environment, growth companies with high insider ownership can offer investors potential stability as these insiders often have a vested interest in the company’s long-term success.

Recent financials show a dip in net income from ￡9.8 million to ￡7.1 million and sales from ￡66.5 million to ￡64.9 million in 2023; however, Fintel maintains high insider ownership with more buying than selling activity among insiders over the past three months.
