Co-Fund Manager Gervais Williams was asked his view on portfolio company **HeiQ 
plc **in a recent wide ranging interview.

**DirectorsTalk said**: Revenues are up 17% in the first half of the financial year
and they have been on an impressive run of acquisitions. In mid-January, they completed
the acquisition of a UK-based IP company, Tarn-Pure. Now, HeiQ is expecting strong
growth in the use of their antimicrobials copper and silver but what’s your view
on the company?

> **Gervais Williams commented**:
> “Well, what I think is interesting about this one is they’ve been selling masks
> with these technologies in it which helps to reduce the viral load in your lungs,
> over the last two years. Obviously, there’s less mask sales this year because 
> COVID is less severe so they’ve had slightly lower current revenues.
> In particular, the opportunities in some of the products that came to market are
> not only well positioned for the future but could become products in their own
> right, particularly cellulose which is hoping to replace nylon in due course.
> So, there’s just exceptional upside and, like many of the other portfolio holdings,
> these are companies which have tremendous upside potential, cash generative over
> the next 2 or 3 years, as they succeed, but are currently exceptionally overlooked
> in terms of share prices.”

HeiQ plc (LON: HEIQ) is a leader in material innovation creating some of the most
effective, durable and high-performance textile and material effects in the market
today.

Tarn-Pure is a UK-based intellectual property company holding critical EU and UK
regulatory registrations to sell elemental copper and elemental silver for use in
disinfecting hygiene applications. HeiQ generates significant silver technology 
sales and the acquired regulatory asset will enable it to further increase these
sales, HeiQ recently announced.
