FDA approval sees Orthocell’s Remplir enter multi-billion dollar US nerve market

Orthocell Ltd chairman John van der Wielen talked with Proactive about the company receiving FDA clearance for its nerve repair product, Remplir, paving the way for entry into the multi-billion US healthcare market. The approval marks a significant milestone in Orthocell’s international growth strategy and reflects the strength of its regulatory and clinical capabilities. Van der Wielen emphasised the significance of breaking into the US market in a challenging regulatory environment. “Not many people would have thought with the current US turmoil, a company like ours could achieve FDA clearance,” he said. Orthocell has established operations in the US with logistics and distribution already in place. The company is implementing a hybrid sales model using in-house personnel and regional distributors, aiming for rapid initial uptake with an eye on more exclusive arrangements in the future. Remplir’s three-year shelf life and no temperature control requirement make it ideal for streamlined deployment. He also highlighted that Orthocell has already performed over 2,000 procedures in Australia and anticipates the US market to be 20 to 30 times larger, creating a strong revenue opportunity. With $32 million in cash reserves, the company expects to become cash flow positive within two years. 👉 For more interviews and updates, head to Proactive’s YouTube channel.

Gaming Realms CEO on 2024 successes, Slingo growth and 2025 outlook

Gaming Realms PLC CEO Mark Segal takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through the company's strong 2024 financial performance and its ongoing international expansion. The company reported a year of strong growth, with revenue rising in both core content licensing and non-core social segments. Segal highlighted a “revenue increase, increase in our core content licensing business,” alongside gains in adjusted EBITDA and net profit, underlining operational leverage within the business. The company's flagship Slingo titles drove momentum, with 12 new releases in 2024 and North America contributing 54% of licensing revenue. “The cohorts of games we built in 2024 has probably been our highest-grossing sets of games in the first year,” said Segal. Gaming Realms is now live in five regulated U.S. states and recently launched in Brazil, aiming to deepen its presence in both. Segal also discussed the addition of third-party studio content, including Real Play, For The Player, and upcoming partner S Gaming, helping diversify offerings and penetrate high-barrier markets like the U.S. Cash generation remains strong, with a £13.5 million balance and a share buyback program underway. Looking ahead, Segal said the company expects continued organic growth, expansion into South Africa, and new launches with British Columbia’s lottery.

Time Finance CEO on Q3 update: record lending & growth to resilient small businesses

Time Finance PLC (AIM:TIME) CEO Ed Rimmer takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through the company’s performance in the third quarter, highlighting a record gross lending book and improved arrears management. Rimmer explained that Time Finance provides funding solutions to small businesses, including invoice finance, asset finance, and secured loans, typically supporting businesses with turnover up to £10 million. He said, “We help businesses grow, but we also help businesses to survive as well.” The company’s lending book reached a record £210 million at the end of February, with arrears falling to 5% from 6% a year earlier. Rimmer noted this progress came despite challenging market conditions and was achieved without compromising credit quality. Margins have also increased, with profit margins now at 40%. This was attributed to tight cost control and improved efficiency, including leveraging technology and streamlining internal processes. Time Finance has not increased its headcount significantly post-COVID, which has helped support margin growth. Rimmer also addressed the broader economic environment, pointing to interest rate pressures, inflation, and increased insolvencies, but emphasised that small businesses remain resilient. The company sees opportunity as traditional banks become more risk-averse, creating space for independent lenders. Visit Proactive’s YouTube channel for more interviews like this.

Directa Plus CEO on Q1 revenue jump on new contracts in Romania and textile market recovery

Directa Plus CEO Giulio Cesareo talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s strong start to 2025 and the strategic impact of its environmental operations. Cesareo shared that the company saw a 40% rise in first-quarter revenue to approximately €2 million, driven by new contracts in Romania and a recovering textile market in Italy. “We have a significant contract with Midia International,” Cesareo explained, adding that work on oil recovery from drilling platforms resumed after a slowdown in 2024 due to the war in the Black Sea. The full acquisition of Setcar, a Romanian environmental service company, plays a central role in the company’s strategy. Cesareo highlighted that Setcar not only holds a full suite of environmental certifications but also occupies a “geopolitical significant position” as a potential gateway to Ukraine’s reconstruction. Environmental applications remain a key focus for Directa Plus, especially the use of its graphene materials to decontaminate water and soil. In collaboration with OMV Petrom, the company successfully decontaminated 44,000 cubic meters of water, recovering 10,000 barrels of crude oil. Research and development are also advancing. Directa Plus is working with Nant G Power on battery materials and refocusing on opportunities in sectors like tyres and PFAS filtration. Cesareo stated, “There are significant opportunities, despite the actual crisis, that can be captured by our innovative material.” With €4 million in cash and a burn rate that extends funding through to August 2026, Cesareo believes the company is well-positioned for the year ahead.
