Recruiter PageGroup PLC on Wednesday set out plans to achieve profit growth between now and 2030, and it announced its goal to trim its cost base. PageGroup is targeting £400 million in operating profit by 2030, so more than double the £196.1 million it achieved in 2022. Achieving this goal will enable the company to make shareholder distributions of more than £1.5 billion between now and 2030, it said. ‘As part of this refined strategy and our increased focus on our conversion rate target, we have already implemented a number of initiatives to reduce our cost base,’ PageGroup said. It will incur a one-off hit of £15 million as part of the cost-cutting plans. Going forward, the cost cuts will generate annualised cost savings of £20 million. PageGroup shares rose 1.5% to 414.60 pence in London on Wednesday morning. Copyright 2023 Alliance News Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
