Completion of Acquisition

Begbies Traynor Group plc (the "Group"), the business recovery, financial advisory and property services consultancy, is pleased to announce that the acquisition of David Rubin & Partners Limited ("DRP") has completed and is now unconditional in all respects.

"The acquisition of DRP is our largest acquisition to date and is expected to be immediately earnings enhancing. It leaves the Group well-positioned to increase its market share and continue to grow its business recovery and financial advisory revenues.

"With the benefit of this and other recent acquisitions together with organic growth initiatives the Group is well positioned to deliver material growth in the 2021-22 financial year."
