History[]
The business that became ISG was founded as Stanhope Interiors in 1989 by David King[4] who led its management buyout from Stanhope Properties in 1995, when it was renamed Interior plc.
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),[2] previously a substantial shareholder, in a £85m takeover.[6][7][8]
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).[2] Fit-out is ISG's biggest source of revenue (£1,042.3m in 2020), followed by construction (£690.8m) and engineering services (£293.3m).[9]
