HSS Hire Group has seen its shares suspended from trading on AIM - part of the London Stock Exchange - after missing the deadline to publish its annual results.
The company was due to release accounts for the 15-month period to 31 March 2025 on 25 September, but then postponed to 30 September, warning that it might still not meet the revised date. At 7am on deadline day, HSS admitted it could not guarantee publication, citing “promising commercial and strategic initiatives” still under way.
The temporary suspension took effect on 1 October. HSS said it is focused on long-term value creation but gave no details of the initiatives delaying its report. The business operates two divisions: ProService, an online marketplace serving around 3,000 customers, and The Hire Services Company, which runs a network of 130 branches.
The board said a further update will follow once the audit is complete.
