Hakluyt announces 13.5% increase in profits following significant growth in US and Asia-Pacific markets March 2025
Hakluyt, the global strategic advisory firm for leading corporations and investors, has announced continued strong growth as the company prepares to celebrate its 30th anniversary later this year.
In financial results filed today with Companies House for the year ending 30 June 2024, group revenue increased by 16.1% and group operating profit increased by 13.5%, reflecting both deeper relationships with existing clients and work with new clients – with significant demand coming from both the North American and Asia-Pacific markets.
Managing partner Thomas Ellis said:
“Throughout the history of our firm, leaders of the world’s most important companies and influential investment funds have turned to us for our judgement, insights and advice – and for our independence of thought – in areas including M&A, market entry, policy, regulation and senior hires. These most recent results show that our unique operating model continues to be greatly valued in an increasingly complex global business environment.”
During this reporting period, Hakluyt appointed Lord William Hague as chair of the firm’s international advisory board, succeeding Niall FitzGerald KBE. The firm also welcomed Sunil Bharti Mittal KBE, founder and chairman of Bharti Enterprises, Valerie Mars, senior vice president of corporate development at Mars, and Hironori Kamezawa, president and group CEO of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, to the advisory board.
Thomas Ellis added: “At our core, we are a people business, with our in-house team of expert advisers drawing on qualitative insights generated by our network and connectivity, supporting clients all over the world. I am confident that our current focus on strategic clarity and drive for excellence in everything we do will mean that we continue to provide ever-greater value in the years to come.”
