AGM Statement

 

FY26 expectations reiterated

 

Norman Broadbent (AIM: NBB), a leading Executive Search and Interim
Management firm, is holding its Annual General Meeting later this morning. At
the meeting, its Chairman, Peter Searle, will make the following statement:

 

"We remain encouraged by our trading performance and by our robust pipeline,
and reiterate our confidence in a further year of NFI growth in FY26, in line
with expectations(1).  We continue to make good progress in growing
headcount, and with further hires anticipated in the coming weeks we look
forward to our recent joiners supporting our fee-earning efforts as the year
progresses.

 

We remain watchful of the situation in the Gulf and the state of the UK
political backdrop and remain of the view that progress this year from one
quarter to the next is likely to be non-linear.

 

We are also delighted to welcome Annette Nabavi and Steve Wardell as
non-executive directors - two high quality additions to our Board who bring
complementary skills and experience to the company. They join the business at
a key stage as we build on our record performance in 2025 and drive growth
through disciplined investment. As we expand the business, both in the UK and
internationally and across service lines, we maintain our laser focus on
performance, agility and culture. In this context, we were delighted to be
awarded recently a 3-Star accreditation by Best Companies, recognising Norman
Broadbent as a "World Class" organisation to work for(2). This is measured by
anonymous employee feedback and is testament to our culture of doing business
the right way which is at the heart of our enduring success."

("NFI") for FY26 is £13.1 million (FY25 as reported: £12.3 million).
