Staffline Corporate Events
Staffline Group has bought back and cancelled 111,682 ordinary shares at 45p each on the London Stock Exchange under its ongoing share repurchase programme, leaving 122,341,942 shares in issue and no shares held in treasury.

Staffline Group reported a strong full-year 2025 performance following its strategic refocus on pure-play recruitment, with revenue rising 11.5% to £1.11bn, gross profit up 10.6% to £78.3m and operating profit jumping 28.3% to £12.7m, all significantly ahead of market expectations. Growth was driven by market share gains in its core blue-collar UK business, including a major new logistics partnership that added about 1,800 temporary workers and delivered a five-year high in peak trading hours, alongside double-digit growth in permanent recruitment fees in Ireland and a profitable push into RPO and managed services; despite a reduction in net cash due to planned working capital investment and an ongoing £7.5m share buyback, the group’s strong balance sheet, improved profit conversion and fragmented competitive landscape leave it well positioned to capitalise on a robust new business pipeline and continued customer consolidation of labour suppliers.
