Trading Update
Knights, one of the UK's fastest growing regional legal and professional services businesses, is pleased to announce an update on trading for the half year ended 31 October 2018.
Following a successful listing on AIM in June 2018, the Board is pleased with the Group's continued performance and is confident that the results for the half year will be in line with expectations, with a double digit increase in organic revenue compared to the same period last year alongside strong EBITDA growth.
During the period, the Company acquired two businesses, Turner Parkinson in Manchester and Spearing Waite in Leicester, and integration of both businesses is proceeding to plan. Knights has also invested further in Manchester and will be moving the Turner Parkinson business into larger offices in Spring 2019 which will enable further growth in accordance with the Group's strategy.
The Company will announce its half year results on 15 January 2019.
David Beech, CEO, commented: "The Group continues to make excellent progress, and we remain confident in our growth plans following June's successful listing on AIM. We continue to see exciting opportunities in the regional legal sector and will look to make further acquisitions of businesses which offer complementary services in targeted geographies and sectors."
