4GLOBAL CEO discusses expansion of Sport England deal for wider insights

4GLOBAL PLC (AIM:4GBL) CEO Eloy Mazon talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s expanded agreement with Sport England. The updated contract deepens 4GLOBAL’s role in delivering data-led insights to support increased sports participation across England, extending beyond facilities to include outdoor and informal activity spaces. Mazon explained that this new phase builds on a successful four-year partnership which helped boost participation by over 30%. “We like to think we play a very significant part in achieving those outcomes,” he said, referring to the impact of 4GLOBAL’s data platform on investment decisions in grassroots sports. Now, Sport England is shifting focus to track physical activity beyond formal facilities, such as cycling paths and running tracks. 4GLOBAL’s recently launched insight platform plays a key role by integrating multiple datasets to generate predictive insights. Mazon said, “This contract…places us at the centre of sport and physical activity in England.” He added that the broader ecosystem engagement—covering everything from local authorities to gym operators—offers not only data value for Sport England but commercial opportunities for 4GLOBAL. Mazon also highlighted the strategic value of this multi-year, multi-million-pound contract as part of the company’s move toward recurring revenue and EBITDA growth. “The focus for us going forward is to really grow EBITDA, because that provides us with that free cash flow…to invest in growth,” he noted.

Hillcrest launches ZVS technology evaluation with global Tier 1 automotive supplier

Hillcrest Energy Technologies CEO Don Currie joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the launch of a technology evaluation project with a global Tier 1 automotive supplier. The project’s initial phase will assess the potential benefits of Hillcrest’s Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) technology in next-generation inverter applications for electric vehicles. If this phase is successful and both parties agree to proceed, subsequent phases will focus on the integration and validation of ZVS technology within the supplier’s inverter platform. Currie explained that Tier 1 automotive suppliers provide fully assembled components and systems to major automakers. This particular supplier, consistently ranked among the top 15 largest by revenue, is a global leader specializing in critical EV components like inverters. With a strong presence in the industry, the supplier plays a crucial role in advancing electric vehicle technology for manufacturers worldwide. The evaluation phase will involve a series of technical assessments aimed at eliminating switching losses and improving electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance. The supplier will analyze efficiency, performance, and potential advantages of Hillcrest’s ZVS technology within its inverter architecture. The findings from this evaluation will determine potential next steps for further collaboration and integration. This project represents a key opportunity for Hillcrest to demonstrate the value of its ZVS technology, with the shared objective of enhancing EV inverter performance and delivering significant benefits to automotive customers. #proactiveinvestors #hillcrestenergytechnologiesltd #cse #heat #ptcqb #hlrtf

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.

Quantum Base to list on AIM with £5M IPO plan

Quantum Base CEO Tom Taylor joined Stephen Gunnion in the Proactive studio with more about the company’s upcoming listing on the AIM market and its breakthrough anti-counterfeiting technology. Quantum Base, founded in 2013 as a spin-out from Lancaster University, has developed an atomic fingerprint that offers 100% secure authentication of goods, scannable with any smartphone. “It tells you 100% if something is real or it's fake,” Taylor said, describing the technology as a major leap in the fight against counterfeiting. Taylor explained that the technology has applications across sectors including brand protection, pharmaceuticals, tax stamps, banknotes, passports and even aerospace parts. The firm is already working with clients globally—from North America to the Middle East—and targeting both commercial brands and government organisations. The IPO is expected to raise £5 million, with £4.70 million already committed and trading set to begin on Friday under the ticker QUBE. The retail offer remains open. “We really want to grow… AIM really helps us grow,” Taylor said, noting the listing will support product development and expansion into new verticals. Key uses of the funds will include expanding Quantum Base’s commercial team and scaling its product reach into global markets. Looking ahead, Taylor said investors should watch for announcements of new customers and entry into new industries as milestones on the path to profitability.
