Rigby Group marks 50 years with strong financial results

Rigby Group has reported strong financial results for the year ended 31 March 2025. As the business marks its 50th anniversary, it celebrates five decades of growth, reinvestment, and resilience.

From its beginnings in 1975 with just a £2,000 investment by our founder Sir Peter Rigby, the Group has grown to revenues of £3.8 billion in FY25, up 3% on the prior year. Rigby Group’s EBITDA rose 36% to £95 million, supported in part by the sale of some businesses.

Technology remains at the heart of the Group’s strategy. SCC, Rigby Group’s cornerstone IT business, delivered a fourth consecutive record year, driving innovation and enabling clients to transform at pace. The Group also maintained its ambitious £300m technology investment programme, accelerating acquisitions and development in areas such as AI, cloud, and cybersecurity.

A standout achievement for the year was SCC France’s role as official technology provider for the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games. Over 500 colleagues delivered the full technology infrastructure for this project of national scale and complexity, showcasing the Group’s technical expertise, reliability, and commitment to sustainability.

People remain central to Rigby Group’s success. Of the 8,000 colleagues across the Group, more than 2,000 have been with the business for over a decade, a level of loyalty and commitment that sets Rigby Group apart.

The Rigby family reinforced its commitment to sustainable and responsible growth, making multi-million-pound contributions to The Rigby Foundation and The Sir Peter Rigby Charitable Trust during the year. Their ambitious philanthropic initiatives continue, with a particular focus on supporting communities in the West Midlands.

Looking ahead, Rigby Group is well positioned to navigate external challenges and seize new opportunities, staying true to its values of integrity, hard work, and entrepreneurship while continuing to build long-term value for customers, employees, and communities.

Following the year-end, the Group also completed the sale of its Airports’ division, with gains to be recognised in the next fiscal year.
