Manchester’s HSS may face stock market suspension

Manchester-based HSS Hire Group plc said on Tuesday its board is “actively advancing a range of promising  commercial and strategic initiatives focused on long term value creation.”

As a result of this, HSS said “there can be no certainty that the company will be in a position to publish its annual report & accounts for the 15 month period to 31 March 2025 by the required deadline of 30 September 2025.”

HSS said that should the company fail to publish its FY25 Annual Report by the deadline “this would result in the company’s shares being temporarily suspended from trading.”

HSS shares fell about 9% on the news — but are still up almost 40% year to date in 2025.

A further announcement will be made in due course, HSS said.
