FRP Advisory lifts Q1 dividend as trading stays on track

Business advisory firm FRP Advisory has declared a first quarter dividend of 1p per share, a 5% increase on the 0.95p paid in the same period last year.

The interim payout will be made on 19 December to shareholders on the register by 21 November, with the stock set to trade ex-dividend from 20 November.

Chair Penny Judd told the company’s annual general meeting in London on 23 September that FRP had delivered “another year of profitable growth” in the 12 months to 30 April, with all five service areas contributing positively.

According to the firm, trading at the start of the 2026 financial year had remained strong, continuing the positive momentum reported in July. It added that the integration of businesses acquired during the previous year, including One Advisory Group, was progressing as planned.

Judd said: “Trading in the year-to-date continues to be in line with the Board’s expectations. The near and medium-term outlook for our service pillars remains positive and we are confident of continued progress for the rest of the year.”

FRP, which combines organic expansion with selective acquisitions, said it will publish a trading update for the six months to 31 October in mid-November.
