“ We ’ ve been through a period of cost cutting over the last two years , and have divested one of our two mature businesses . The aim , now that we ’ re fully focused on advanced materials , is to grow the business sustainably . We ’ re trying to shift from R & D to more commercial sales of our products . We ’ ve got products to sell and projects to deliver that Ben is driving on the 3DCP side . As we have been R & D intensive , we ’ ve had to be reliant on some grant funding , but we ’ re now hopeful that with our healthy commercial pipeline and more projects coming to the table that we can drive the business forward . I want VRS to be one of the world ’ s leading advanced materials businesses ,” he concludes . “ I am confident that our strategic direction , combined with our focus on commercializing intellectual property and securing strong partnerships , will help us navigate challenges and deliver robust growth .
