Marcus Stuttard, Head of AIM & UK Primary Markets said:
“DX Group’s successful IPO underlines AIM’s long-term capacity to provide substantial capital to ambitious, growth-oriented companies. As one of the largest flotations ever on AIM, this transaction confirms the market’s maturity and ability to support companies from across the UK and around the world that seek to grow using equity finance.”
