History edit

The business that became ISG was founded as Stanhope Interiors in 1989 by David King[3] who led its management buyout from Stanhope Properties in 1995, when it was renamed Interior plc.[4]

In 1997, the business, Interior Services Group, was floated on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange. It officially changed its name to ISG plc in April 2013.[5]

In March 2016, it was taken private by US-based Cathexis (the investment vehicle of Texan billionaire William Harrison),[6] previously a substantial shareholder, in a £85m takeover.[7][8][9]

In May 2021, ISG reported its results for 2020, affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Revenue was down 23% to £2.0bn (2019: £2.6bn); underlying EBITDA for the year was £37.6m (2019: £63.3m).[6] Fit-out was ISG's biggest source of revenue (£1,042.3m in 2020), followed by construction (£690.8m) and engineering services (£293.3m).[10]

In the year to December 2021, ISG reported revenues of £2.263bn, still not back to its pre-pandemic peak, while pre-tax profits increased to £18.9m, from £8.9m a year earlier;[11] fit-out remained ISG's largest service line.[2] In 2022, ISG revenues slipped to £2.19bn, while pre-tax profit was down 38% to £11.5m.[1]

Appointed in 2022, ISG CEO Matt Blowers left the business in February 2024, being replaced as CEO by Zoe Price.[1] There were also changes affecting the company secretary, vice-chair and chief financial officer roles.[12]
