Happy customers beget happy investors

World-class companies have one thing in common. They are all totally committed about delighting their customers. Knowing that this can create a powerful feedback loop, and likewise trigger more client wins, higher hit rates, positive referrals and follow-on work.

Today we saw this virtuous circle in action again at ClearStar, a specialist in background & medical screening solutions. Announcing that it had secured a new 3 month $350,000 contract. Both extending and expanding the services it already provides to a relatively new professional services client within the financial services space.

Indeed, this customer only came on board in November and obviously likes the service. Having ramped up revenues from a standing start 6 months ago to an annualised run-rate of >$1.0m pa. Better still, we understand there might be further X-selling opportunities in due course with other parts of the same group.

In terms of the numbers, we make no change to our 2019 estimates, but are encouraged by the increasing visibility and momentum. At 59p, the stock trades at a wide discount to peers, despite growing at approximately twice the market rate.
