FRP said revenues were expected to be 23% higher at £128.0m in the twelve months ended 31 March, while underlying earnings were seen 37% higher at £37.0m, principally due to a 22% increase in business administrations over the year.

The results achieved are testament to the quality of our colleagues and their continued efforts to provide a high-quality service to achieve the best possible results for our clients.
