Some founder dependency, but not acute. A structured handover period should cover most risk.
- -4 active directors: Broader management team in place — suggests transferable governance.
- +Senior director age: Director aged approximately 61 — approaching natural succession window.
- +Family involvement: Multiple officers share a surname — likely family business, which concentrates governance.
