Latest update - Q1 26 Results commentary

"We experienced a normal recovery in post-summer activity levels and trading was stable on a seasonally adjusted basis through the quarter.

Driven by strong consultant fee productivity growth and good cost discipline Group pre-exceptional operating profit was broadly stable YoY in Q1.

We are executing well against our strategy and I remain confident that we will benefit materially when markets recover."

Q1 26 Overview

  • Group net fees down 8% YoY with Temp & Contracting and Perm down 5% and 13% respectively

  • Temp & Contracting volumes have rebuilt through the quarter in line with prior years. Perm markets remain challenging with longer time to hire

  • Consultant net fee productivity growth improved to 7% YoY driven by our continued focus on resource allocation. Consultant headcount reduced by 4% sequentially in the quarter and by 15% YoY

  • Initiatives to deliver further structural cost savings of c.£45m per annum by the end of FY29 are progressing well and consequently our periodic cost base(1) has improved to c.£74m from c.£75m in Q4

  • c.£40m net debt (30 June 2025: £37.0m net cash) reflecting seasonal outflows and timing of month end payments

  • The September net fee growth rate was in line with the quarter at minus 8% working day adjusted and we continue to expect near term market conditions to remain challenging
