And the 2025 winners are: (not the late front runner, Octopus Apollo VCT, that now starts as odds-on favourite for 2026)

Most consistently useless: (3 years in a row)             QUANTEXA Ltd ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Venture Capital Trust Managers: JOINT WINNERS:            ALBION CAPITAL GROUP llp and GRESHAM HOUSE ASSET MANAGEMENT Ltd Not only for false filings for "their own" VCTs but outright incompetence for investments where they charge for putting one-of-their-own on the Board and then fail to carry out their statutory duties (see Quantexa, Elliptic Enterprises and Preservica as just a few examples of the dogs). Do note that Richard Seewald pops up again as a Director of Elliptic along with the miscreants at Octopus - "pass the parcel" anyone? The one thing that is crystal clear is that no Investment Manager can ever be trusted to be Company Secretary - let alone sole "executive" - of any listed company. As for GH taking fees and subcontracting the work to skim more fees ... all Directo...

And the front runner is ... OCTOPUS APOLLO VCT and it's incompetent and law breaking directors and managers.

Just look at the 10 year history of lies told about merger shares being issued for cash and the continued failure to rectify and then they appoint Independent Valuers as Auditors and arbiters of valuation disputes. Even the Octopus Titan directors made a half-hearted attempt before the regulators stepped in. They have been warned time and again - perhaps the new and now live formal investigation under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act will sort them out before the next AGM. .
