Online video games retailer Green Man Gaming is set to go public with a £100 million float as it eyes expansion in Asia and the Middle East.

According to The Times the innovative video game retailer, which sells digital copies of games to customers and offers them the chance to trade their purchase back at a later date, is due to announce its intention to float tomorrow.

It will list on the London Stock Exchange sub-market AIM and is understood to be planning to use the funds to develop its games publishing business and expand across lucrative gaming markets like China and the Middle East.

The retailer, which counts Zoopla’s boss Alex Chesterman and lastminute.com’s co-founder Brent Hoberman as its backers, has failed to make a profit for the last five years.

Last year it made a loss of £931,000 on sales of £47.5 million, down from losses of £2.2 million on sales of £37.2 million in 2016.

Interview: How Palmer’s 20-year logistics partnership is fuelling its European expansion

Palmer’s may be one of the most familiar names on the bathroom shelf, but behind the cocoa butter bottles is a surprisingly small UK operation. ET Browne UK, which distributes the American family-owned skincare brand, has grown its sales while keeping its core team to fewer than 20 people. Now, as a new Tahitian Vanilla range brings younger shoppers to the brand and the company looks to expand further into Europe, the pressure is falling on the supply chain to keep up.
