Trading Update
Since the Group’s Trading Update on 14 April 2021, trading momentum within the business has continued to be strong. Following a 49% increase in Foxtons Q1 sales revenue versus both 2020 and 2019, the sales commission pipeline has continued to grow and is now 65% ahead of last year and 17% up on 1 January 20211. As a result of the strong trading momentum, adjusted operating profit for the first half of the year is expected to be significantly ahead of both 2020 and 2019.
No further trading information will be disclosed during the event.
Budden said: “Foxtons has enormous potential and we are delighted to be able to set out our growth plans. For over 40 years we have operated through the ups and downs of the sales market cycle and emerge from the unprecedented challenges of 2020 a more efficient and capable business. Our customer proposition is unique and the investments we have made in technology and data science capabilities give us competitive advantage and a solid platform for growth.
“2021 has started extremely well with strong trading and the biggest acquisition in our history.
We look out on significant opportunity to grow and have a clear plan to take advantage of it. Foxtons has a history of being a highly profitable business and when I reflect on the actions we have taken together with the opportunity and improving market conditions I am confident we can deliver significant shareholder value in the coming years.”
Should be a lively Q&A session today

Unfortunately, Robin Paterson thinks othewise as he sets out in no uncertain terms on Catalist ‘swebsite
“A PATH TO £1BN CAPITAL VALUE
Recommends a whole plethora of major structural changes
A big believer in incentivising the fee earners offering them some skin in the game and vested to remain on the premises and share the journey .
Sounds good advice to me rather than the CEO trosuering a big bonus at a time the company has been struggling
Should imagine he wasn’t too happy with them shelling out £14.,5m ahrd cash for Douglas & Gordon with a whole load of expensive offices
Thanks very much for the fat cheque say the long term shareholders who are not involved in the business
What about D&G’s CEO Jamie Evans who left Foxtons after 14 yrs after Budden took the hot seat
No place on the main board for him or major shareoptions How do you keep him sweet otherwise and not leave with half of the inventory?

Don’t forget that he pocketed his bonus and invested £3m in Boomin from what was essentially £7m of Government funding intended to help bail out struggling firms.
No integrity whatsoever. Not now, not ever.
