Revenues top £200m in strong year at Knights - “healthy pipeline” of acquisitions

Revenues have surged past the £200m mark at professional services group Knights in a "strong financial performance". 

The listed company has filed a trading update for the year to 30 April 2026 showing a 28 per cent increase in revenues from £162m to approximately £207m. 

It expects to report an increase in underlying EBITDA of 19 per cent from £43m to circa £51m, with underlying pre-tax profits rising 18 per cent from £28m to £33m. 

Knights completed the acquisition of Birkett Long LLP and Birkett Long IFA LLP in June 2025 and Rix & Kay LLP in August 2025, "further strengthening its presence in the South East". 

Having established its first presence outside England, in Cardiff, organically, the firm added to the team via the acquisition of Le Gros Solicitors Limited in August 2025. 

The group is "actively assessing acquisition opportunities, with a healthy pipeline".  It continues to "progress the previously announced discussions with Moore Barlow LLP".

Chief executive David Beech said: "Knights has delivered a strong financial performance in FY26, driven by organic growth, our successful acquisition strategy, and the sustained benefits of our differentiated business model, all underpinned by disciplined execution led by our expanded management team."
