US Office Expansion

The board of Hydrogen Group is pleased to announce the opening of two new offices in its North American business in Austin and San Diego, and the relocation of its existing operations in Houston to larger premises.

During Q2 2018 the Group appointed a new Managing Director to its US business and transferred a key member of staff from the UK. This, together with other group wide initiatives, is driving exceptionally high current levels of growth in the region. US Net Fee Income in Q3 2018, was some 40% greater than the total earned throughout H1 2018.

Both Austin and San Diego have been identified as key markets to drive further growth in the Group's key STEM markets, notably in Technology and Life Sciences. The new offices, together with the expansion of Houston, will underpin the continued growth and underline the Group's commitment to building market leading businesses across the region.

Ian Temple, Hydrogen Group, CEO, comments:

"We have identified North America as a key driver of our continued growth, so we are delighted to be able to announce the opening of two new offices in Austin & San Diego. I look forward to the continued development of our business in these exciting and high growth markets."
