Despite the impact of the crisis on its bottom line, Ingham stated that the government's Brexit deal and recent announcements on easing lockdown restrictions 'have provided a great deal of clarity' for the firm. Even so, AJ Bell investment director Russ Mould warned that the extension of the government's furlough scheme to September 'doesn't necessarily send a positive message to recruitment companies such as PageGroup.' Rishi Sunak announced an extension to the furlough scheme today. 'However, the fact that the furlough scheme is being extended could continue to make many people already in jobs nervous about wanting to look for a new opportunity.' PageGroup's shares ended the trading session 0.66 per cent higher at £4.90 today.
