Hays recorded a pre-tax profit of £80.4 million in the year to 30 April 2025, an increase of 10% on the previous year, which followed an 11% uptick in turnover to £506.7 million.
Owner and chair of Hays Travel, Dame Irene Hays, cautioned that added cost pressures and investment in technology and acquisitions meant the group was "unlikely to report such a strong bottom line in the next financial year".
Dame Irene added the brand had acquired two new businesses and launched an app during the reporting period. Accounts show Hays paid £16.6 million for former Hays Travel Independence Group member Miles Away Ltd – parent company of 19-branch Miles Morgan Travel - on 1 May.
