LEADCOM, a real growth company

Leadcom gets a complimentary mention here in an otherwise stigmatising article towards the rash of foreign AIM listings



There has been a noticeable increase in the number of Israeli-based companies coming to the market. Aim offers entrepreneurs access to a market that has proved itself receptive to some of the new technology emerging from Israel.

There have been some notable successes. Leadcom Integrated Solutions, a provider of telecommunication solutions, raised £12m in April to help accelerate organic growth and support occasional acquisitions. Its shares are 62% ahead.

But that is not mirrored elsewhere. Israeli companies are showing a combined fall of 15.5% on the year - a pretty miserable performance seen against the overall improvement in the market.
