With the new school term just underway, we have already enrolled new school members and are in advanced talks with many more, I get on a plane on Sunday to Singapore having been invited to present the School Notices platform to 6 of the leading schools out there and we have identified key additions to our team to take the business forward during what will be a busy and really exiting 2017. There is still time for investors to consider our pitch and we are here to answer any questions you may have. Many thanks once again.”
