At today’s AGM, Giles Fearnley, Chairman of Dillistone, will make the following AGM statement: “We are pleased to report that the improved trading performance noted in the late months of 2021 has continued into 2022. Across both our contingency and executive search products, we see reasons for optimism with all our products performing broadly in line with – or better than – we would have anticipated at this point in the year. We are also pleased to confirm that Talentis has continued to grow rapidly, with recurring revenue in Q1 2022 being double that delivered in Q4 of 2021. The current quarter is likely to see a further doubling in which case it will become the fourth successive quarter in which realised recurring revenue has doubled on the previous period. This grow rate is expected to slow over the traditionally quiet summer, but we are confident that the product will deliver further strong growth in the final months of the year. The business is trading in line with market expectations for the full year.”
