AGM Statement

FRP Advisory Group plc, a leading UK specialist business advisory firm specialising in restructuring, is today holding its Annual General Meeting. Nigel Guy, Non-Executive Chairman, will make the following statement:

"Since announcing our final results on 27 August 2020, the Group has continued to grow and trading in our current financial year (ending 30 April 2021) to date remains in line with expectations. This has been achieved despite the significant reduction in the number of formal insolvency appointments compared with the prior year as a result of the support measures made available by the UK Government in response to COVID-19.

As previously announced, we have successfully completed three complementary acquisitions during the current financial year - in Newcastle, East Anglia and Kent. These have allowed us to continue to selectively build our UK footprint while also growing our existing teams organically.   

There remains a substantial degree of uncertainty around the shape and scale of economic recovery, combined with additional pressure as the Brexit transitional agreement comes to an end in 2020.  Each FRP office can draw on specialists from other FRP services lines, as well as colleagues from different regions. Combined with additional hires, this resource flexibility means we are well positioned for an increase in demand. The medium-term outlook for our market is positive and the Board remains confident of making further progress in the current financial year."
