The rise outpaced London’s wider market but didn’t see the same volumes. Turnover for the day reached about 18% of the average volume reported by Google Finance, and the bid-offer spread at 0.70p was about 8.3% of the mid according to Investors Chronicle. That’s significant for a small-cap—quotes can shift quickly, but it’s harder to move real size.
