The group also posted a 27% increase in revenue
Broker Seventeen Group has posted an earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (ebitda) figure of £4.82m in its full year financial results for 2021, released today (12 October 2022).
This ebitda figure represents a growth of £1.35m from 2020’s full year result, which sat at £3.57m.
The broker also achieved a 27% increase in revenue from 2020’s figure of £24.5m to take it to a total figure of £31.2m for 2021.
In the group’s financial statement, it said this improvement had been driven through strong trading within its businesses James Hallam and Touchstone, with new business income exceeding £4.5m.
It added that there was a partial contribution from acquisitions the business made during the year, including Ryan’s, PRS and Christopher Rowe.
Seventeen Group explained that while divisions previously impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic had begun to show recovery, they had not recovered to pre-covid levels.
