Hercules Site Services PLC (AIM:HERC) CEO Brusk Korkmaz and chief financial officer Paul Wheatcroft talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's record performance in 2024. Korkmaz highlighted that Hercules surpassed market expectations with over £100 million in revenue, driven by growth in its labour supply and civil projects divisions. He emphasised the importance of cross-selling between divisions, which contributed significantly to their success. The company recently divested its suction excavator business to focus on increasing cash flow, profit before tax, and earnings per share, aiming to deliver more value to shareholders. Hercules also saw revenue boosts from its acquisition of Future Build Recruitment and the establishment of the Hercules Construction Academy. Wheatcroft outlined impressive financial growth, with a 28% increase in revenue from continuing operations, bringing it to £102 million. He noted a remarkable 34% rise in adjusted EBITDA and a 43% boost in pretax profit. The year also saw strong cash generation and effective credit management, positioning the company for further expansion. Looking ahead, Korkmaz said the company is focused on leveraging growth opportunities in the labour supply sector and capitalising on infrastructure investments. He expressed confidence in delivering another year of exceeding expectations while continuing Hercules’ consistent growth trajectory.

VettaFi Head of Thematic Strategy Jane Edmondson joined Steve Darling from Proactive about the ripple effects of President Trump’s proposed NATO defense spending increase and the evolving landscape of European defense investments. Trump's call to raise NATO member nations' defense spending from 2% to 5% of GDP has sparked varied responses. Countries like Poland have welcomed the initiative, while others, including Germany, have raised concerns over the financial burden. Edmondson noted that this proposal underscores a broader trend of increased military investment across Europe, driven by geopolitical tensions, particularly the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. Edmondson highlighted the sharp rise in European defense stocks, with companies such as Rheinmetall, Saab, and Leonardo experiencing dramatic gains of 200% to 300% since the start of the conflict. This surge reflects the market's recognition of the urgent need for modernized defense capabilities after years of underfunding. She pointed to emerging initiatives like the development of a European defense industrial base and a potential defense bank to sustain military investments. Additionally, Trump's recent executive order reforming U.S. defense budgets further emphasizes a shift towards innovative technologies, such as artificial intelligence and robotics, over traditional defense programs. Edmondson predicted that a peaceful resolution to the Russia-Ukraine war could trigger short-term profit-taking in defense stocks. However, she emphasized that the long-term demand for defense investment remains strong, driven by NATO's evolving requirements and Europe's push for self-sufficiency in defense. #proactiveinvestors #vettafi #hanetf #DefenseSpending #Cybersecurity #NATO #DefenseETF #JaneEdmondson #VettaFi #DefenseTech #GlobalSecurity #Investing #MilitaryTech #trump…
