John Hays revealed the figures at Hays IG’s annual conference in Marbella, highlighting that the profit growth followed a 13% rise between 2015 and 2016, with sales up 19% for 2017 and passenger numbers rising by 13%.
“To have plus 20% on a like-for-like basis for the branches which have been in business for more than a year – that’s pretty healthy indeed,” Hays told TTG.
Asked what he thought was behind the growth, he added: “In a high street environment people are looking for independent advice and that’s what our members give to their customers. We’re in a good spot right now.
