Trading Update
Christie Group plc anticipates a stronger full-year performance than previously expected due to robust trading in the latter part of 2025, particularly in its Professional & Financial Services division. The company expects to advise on over 1,000 business transactions in the UK with improved average fees, alongside strong year-on-year revenue growth from international brokerage operations. Valuation activities have been strong, and the finance brokerage brand, Christie Finance, is projected to deliver continued revenue and profit growth, while insurance intermediary renewals are also exceeding expectations. Following the disposal of its loss-making software business, the remaining stocktaking brand, Venners, is expected to contribute revenue growth and sustained operating profit, leading to an improved year-end cash position.
