The firm has attributed these losses to 'Covid, the Russian invasion of the Ukraine in February 2022 and the political chaos resulting from the resignation of Boris Johnson as Prime Minister in June 2022'.

A spokesperson for PipeHawk said: ''The Group remains committed to creating sustainable earnings-based growth and focusing on the expansion of its business with forward-looking products and services.
