Fintel plc , the Huddersfield-based financial services technology group, holds its Annual General Meeting today. In line with the meeting, the company issued a trading update that struck a steady tone, offering reassurance rather than surprises.
The update confirmed that trading remains in line with the Board’s expectations—a phrase that often signals business as usual but, in this case, underpins a strategy of consistent and measured growth. Fintel has been pursuing a clear roadmap to broaden its footprint in the financial services space, and recent moves suggest it is staying the course.
Management reiterated their confidence in the Group’s outlook, highlighting a continued commitment to sustainable growth and a disciplined approach to capital allocation. This emphasis on caution and stewardship is likely to resonate with investors in a market still grappling with macroeconomic uncertainty.

Fintel continues to carve out a position as a critical enabler within the UK’s financial services value chain. While today’s trading update contained no dramatic headlines, the subtext is one of steady execution and quiet ambition. The company's strategy of combining organic growth with targeted acquisitions appears to be paying off.
Recent developments, including the acquisition of RSMR and the rollout of Matrix 360, its new market intelligence platform for the general insurance sector, demonstrate Fintel's intent to diversify beyond its traditional advisory stronghold. These moves are not just bolt-on they reflect a broader strategy to build a more integrated, data-driven ecosystem for financial intermediaries.
For investors, today’s update may not spark immediate excitement. However, the story here is one of disciplined expansion. Fintel is laying the foundations for a stronger competitive moat.
