“It is very noticeable that we are seeing increased diversification in the geographical origin of our business,” said chief executive Fiona Le Poidevin.
“An increasing proportion of new work is coming from further afield and we expect that trend to continue as we raise the profile and visibility of the CISE around the world.

“We are also seeing increased diversification in the types of new business. For example, a growing number of companies with equity quoted on the LSE are choosing to list convertible debt on the CISE due to our convenient and cost effective offering.”
The exchange highlighted property company Raven Russia as an example, with the company listing on CISE to add to its quotation on the London Stock Exchange during the period.
