Hakluyt records another year of strong growth driven by value of human insights, expertise and experience March 2026

Hakluyt has announced continued strong growth in the year ending 30 June 2025, a reflection of our sustained investment in our unparalleled team of advisers around the world.

In financial results filed with Companies House, group revenue increased by 13.7%, and operating profit grew by 19.5%.

Managing partner Thomas Ellis said: “In the era of AI, Hakluyt continues to differentiate itself as a business built on the unrivalled power of people: networks, expertise and trusted insight. As senior global business leaders face ongoing economic and geopolitical uncertainty, rapid technological change and increasing complexity, we continue to set the standard for excellence in strategic advisory, as we have done for the past 30 years. I am proud to lead the brilliant Hakluyt team as we expand across sectors, markets and geographies, and I am grateful to my colleagues for their outstanding contribution to our ongoing success.”

In the past year, we have strengthened our international advisory board, which is chaired by Lord William Hague, by welcoming Kenichiro Yoshida, executive chair of Sony, and Ronald Sugar, chairman of the board at Uber and a director of Apple.

We have also continued to expand our teams in London, New York, San Francisco and Tokyo, and strengthened our corporate function by hiring a new chief people officer and chief information officer.

Group revenues and profits are expected to continue to increase in the year to 30 June 2026, and we will continue to build our talent pool to meet the evolving needs of our global client base.
