For the reported period, FD Technologies highlighted strong growth across First Derivative revenue as the figure touched £148 million, up by 24% compared to FY21. According to the company, the growth in First Derivatives was driven by solid market demand.

Growth Ambitions

“First Derivative recorded strong growth as it built on its reputation for domain knowledge and delivery excellence, while MRP continued to grow strongly from its leadership position in predictive lead generation. Across the Group, our investment in systems and people positions us to scale our operations to meet our growth ambitions. The opportunities across the markets in which we operate are significant and through continued execution of our strategy I am confident we can unlock value for our customers and accelerate our growth in the years ahead,” Keating added.
