shareholders as we continue to seek opportunities in the UK Small Cap space.
The Board is delighted to welcome Cassie to the team and looks forward to
working with her."

Trust, said: "I'm thrilled to welcome Cassie to the team. Cassie's appointment
reflects our ongoing dedication to bottom-up stock-picking, which remains at
