In response, GlobalData on Wednesday confirms that discussions with ICG have ended. It says it ‘remains highly confident’ in its future prospects. It will implement its three-year ’growth transformation plan’, which has a target of £500 million in annualised revenue by the end of 2026. GlobalData booked £285.5 million in revenue in 2024.
