Showing most recent 50 of 182 events

Owner dependency

40/100

Moderate — manageable with handover

Some founder dependency, but not acute. A structured handover period should cover most risk.

FACTORS

-5 active directors: Broader management team in place — suggests transferable governance.

Succession & seller-readiness

30/100

Weak signal

Limited succession signal. Not a near-term off-market candidate.

Red flags

1 med ·

3 director resignations in last 12 months

medium

Multiple recent departures can indicate governance disagreement, succession event, or preparation for sale/stress.

Evidence: GRATTON, Timothy Ian resigned 2025-09-24; KERR, Emma Louise resigned 2026-04-22; MOSSOP, Lori resigned 2026-01-14
