Talk:RSK Group

Primary sources

The acquisitions section, particularly from 2020 onwards, is largely sourced from RSK news releases and the RSK website. More reliable sources are needed. Paul W (talk) 10:08, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

Hello @Paul W, this will be difficult to address as few external titles pick up acquisition news. Construction Wave sometimes pick up so they may be worth reviewing for references. I can notify of any future acquisitions that are covered by external outlets. Smith089 (talk) 11:47, 12 August 2025 (UTC)

Hi Smith089. Further to the managing a COI conversation on your Talk page, I think the COI tag and Primary template might be removed once the volume of directly RSK-sourced material has been reduced. This might involve the addition of coverage from reliable secondary sources (I occastionally spot articles in Construction Enquirer, The Construction Index, etc) and/or the deletion of solely RSK-sourced content. As primary content is diluted by addition of more secondary-sourced material, and as other neutral editors contribute to the article, it should eventually be OK to remove the notices.

Update to metrics

Hello. Proposing updates to metrics in the pull out box and introductory paragraphs - in 2025, there are 15,000 employees and 200 businesses. This is detailed on page 2 of the latest Annual Report, accessible here https://resources.rskgroup.com/view/114222732/4/ This document is audited.

Hi Smith089, if possible, can we use audited figures from financial reporting in infoboxes, etc (ie: turnover of £1,857.5m, not £1.9bn; 14,462 employees not 15,000; etc)? I have made changes based on th detailed reporting not on the 'marketing gloss' summary.

Hi @Paul W, please see here for an external source for the numbers mentioned: RSK Group adds environmental consultancy to 200-strong acquisition portfolio - Construction Wave. Stating:

The acquisition [of AGEA] is part of RSK’s ambitious growth strategy, which now comprises more than 200 companies and employs well over 15,000 people.  

RSK Group’s annual turnover at the end of FY2024 was £1.9 billion. Smith089 (talk) 14:22, 12 August 2025 (UTC)

Looks like a regurgitated press release - barely reliable. I put 2024 figures in the infobox for turnover and employee totals based on the audited annual report. Paul W (talk) 14:52, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
