Group Winn Releases Recently Calculated Financial Data
In a significant milestone, the Winn Group has reported a substantial increase in its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) for the first time, surpassing the £40m mark at £40.6m in 2024, up from £37.4m in the previous year [1].
This growth is primarily attributed to the expansion of the group's legal services arm, Winn Solicitors Ltd. The company has witnessed a 32% increase in legal fees, with a significant jump in Non-PI legal fees (46%) and PI Fixed Recoverable Costs (38%) [1]. Chris Birkett, the Chief Executive of Winn Group, has emphasised that this growth stemmed from new business wins and organic growth from existing accounts [1].
The MOJ portal revenue of Winn Group also saw a growth of 19% [1]. The group's emphasis on strong protocol arrangements with insurer partners has enhanced claims management transparency and maintained a high success rate in court litigation where protocols do not exist, further strengthening their market position [1].
Looking ahead, Winn Group plans to leverage its ownership of Winn Solicitors Ltd to drive future growth beyond its core motor claims proposition. However, specific expansion plans beyond the legal services arm inside claims were not highlighted in the available information [1].
Interestingly, Winn Development, an arm connected to the group, is involved in public housing projects like Walden Square. This indicates a potential diversification into property development, although the Walden Square project has faced community and funding challenges, suggesting that real estate development may represent another growth avenue outside motor claims [2].
In another development, Winn Group has introduced an open banking app to support impecunious clients in providing data for claims, demonstrating a commitment to innovative solutions [3].
The group's gross profit also saw an increase from £54m to £59m in the same period [1]. With these strategic moves, Winn Group is positioning itself for a diversified approach within its wider corporate structure, expanding beyond its traditional motor claims focus.

The Winn Group's strategic expansion into innovative technology, such as the introduction of an open banking app for claims support [3], and potential diversification into property development through Winn Development [2], hint at future growth in both technology and real estate sectors beyond their traditional motor claims focus. This diversification strategy, coupled with the group's emphasis on strong business partnerships and organic growth, may propel Winn Group towards substantial financial gains in the coming years, bolstering their overall business performance and EBITDA [1].
