Trading update and notice of results

RTC Group Plc (AIM: RTC.L) is pleased to announce that since June we have been trading in line with the positive expectations about our short, medium, and long-term prospects set out in our interim statement.  The Board is therefore confident of the trading prospects for the Group in the current financial year and expects to announce its audited results for the year ended 31 December 2024 on or around 24 March 2025.

Andy Pendlebury, Chairman and CEO, said:

"I am delighted the Group can provide this trading update.

Economic conditions across the UK remain challenging, driving both fierce competition and revenue concerns, as evidenced by a number of earning downgrades across the sector.  Despite this, we continue to drive growth through our focus on strong sector positioning, our people development, our systems enhancement, and our attention to excellent service and quality which continues to provide valuable differentiation for us with our clients.

Whilst the recent budget will no doubt intensify both cost pressures and competition across all sectors of the economy during 2025, we remain confident in our ability to capture further value for our shareholders as the government's commitment to investment in large scale infrastructure projects begins to unfold."
