They got caught by hiring aggressively 12-18 months ago in the UK to do big 6 implementations, then the UK sector went into a tailspin post pricing caps & Brexit, so GTK fired all the people but only at the end of the reporting period - the most recent half's reporting for GTK will be the nadir as the expenses show (high headcount + redundancy costs), both of which will reverse in the next half.
The bigger issue longer-term, though, is the revenue growth is gone for a while.

It's a very long way back for them if - as i feel is the case - there's a competitor out there who's simply built a better, cheaper mousetrap.
