Winston Score History

The full picture

FDM Group is a staffing and training company that recruits people, trains them in technical skills like coding and data analysis, and then places them at large companies as consultants. Its main customers are banks, financial institutions, government agencies, and large corporations that need technology workers. FDM operates primarily in the UK, Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific.

The company makes money by charging client companies a fee for the consultants it supplies, keeping a margin between what clients pay and what it pays its workers. This "recruit, train, deploy" model gives FDM a repeatable revenue stream, though it depends heavily on corporate demand for IT contractors. With a market cap of around $0.1 billion, FDM is a small player in a competitive staffing market, and its biggest risk is that clients cut contractor spending during economic downturns, which directly shrinks revenue and margins.
