Significant events

• “On 13 December 2023 the ultimate parent company at the time, Impellam Group Plc. announced the agreement to sell the Impellam Group of companies ("the Group"), which include the Company, to HeadFirst Global Plc, which is partly owned by Icelake, a Europe-based investment fund that invests in exceptional companies. The sale completed on 21 March 2024.”
• “Due to the changes in ownership of the Group that occurred on 21 March 24, a positive decision was taken to make no significant changes in the running of the company to allow the company to maintain optimal service levels for clients & suppliers whilst giving our internal stakeholders sufficient time to review the business and propose and make more substantial changes (where appropriate) going into 2025.”
• “Prior to the acquisition of the Group by HeadFirst Global Plc, the Group operated with a £132.5m Revolving Credit Facility ('RCF') with a £30m accordion facility. On completion of the acquisition, outstanding amounts on the RCF were repaid on 12 April 2024 and the facility terminated. On 3 June 2024, a new 3 year US$400m (£313m on the date the facility was taken out) committed Receivable Purchase Agreement ('RPA') facility was entered into by the Group, of which US$362m (£292m) is drawn as at 3 January 2025.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
