Personal Group shares rose 10% to 333.00 pence around noon on Tuesday in London, having gained 57% over the past year. It has entered 2026 ‘with strong momentum, well positioned to capture the growth opportunities in an expanding market and deliver further progress towards the group’s strategic aspirations,’ according to Personal Group. It reaffirmed a confident outlook, eyeing its 2030 targets of £100 million in revenue, £30 million in Ebitda and £20 million in software-as-a-service annual recurring revenue. Chief Executive Paula Constant commented: ‘It’s been a brilliant year of progress for the group, with double-digit growth, adjusted Ebitda ahead of market expectations and continued high retention levels of over 80%. Insurance sales delivered another record year, driven by the strength of our face-to-face model and improved operational grip, and Benefits & Rewards saw growing levels of ARR and new and expanded partnerships. ‘Against a backdrop of increasing cost-of-living pressures, high levels of workforce illness and ongoing challenges for employers to attract and retain employees, our Insurance and Benefits offerings are more relevant than ever, and we are proud at Personal Group to deliver products that have such meaningful impact.’ Copyright 2026 Alliance News Ltd.
