Editor's Notes

Maxima Holdings plc floated on AIM in November 2004 at an issue price of 110p. It was established to acquire businesses supplying IT solutions and services, with the objective of building a focused IT services group. On flotation it immediately acquired Azur Holdings Ltd, bringing together a management team with the skill, experience and incentive to deliver significant shareholder value, through a combination of acquisitive and organic growth. The business implements and supports enterprise software solutions for mid-sized, UK-based manufacturing, distribution and service organisations. These solutions are based upon leading software suites as well as products developed in-house.

It has since made the following acquisitions:
