This comes on the back of a period of rapid growth for Iomart, which has doubled in size during the past five years through a combination of organic growth and acquisition activity,.

The Aim-quoted IT firm acquired Bytemark and LDeX Group in the financial year, adding new customers and complementary datacentre locations.

The dividend rose for the tenth year running, with the board proposing a final payout of 5.01p per share. This results in an annual dividend of 7.46p per share, a 4 per cent year-on-year rise.

Chief executive Angus MacSween said: “We enter the new year with confidence, underpinned by a significantly larger pipeline of prospects than this time last year. The journey to cloud adoption remains a long-term trend and, as a result, our market opportunity is large and widening.”
