AGM statement

Hydrogen Group, the global specialist recruitment group, will hold its Annual General Meeting at 10.00am today, Thursday 23 May 2019, at 30 Eastcheap, London, EC3M 1HD, where Non-Executive Chairman, Stephen Puckett, will provide the following update on current trading:

"The Group performed strongly during 2018, with growth in Net Fee Income, market share and profitability in each of its regions.

"The Group continues to grow and trade in line with management's expectations. The Group has experienced continued strong growth in the US. This has been partially offset by weaker trading conditions in parts of the Group's APAC operations. In EMEA, trading has been stable with the UK, which is the main contributor, impacted by Brexit related uncertainty dampening demand for certain skill sets. The diversity of the Group's global operations by geography and niche sectors has enabled it to sustain growth, giving the Board confidence for 2019, and I look forward to providing a further trading update in July."
