RWS Holdings has announced a major shake-up at board level as the company reported a sharp fall in profit for the year ended 30th September 2025.

Chair Julie Southern and senior independent director David Clayton will both step down at the end of the year, ending a period in which Southern helped strengthen the board and transition the group to new executive leadership.

The changes come as the global AI solutions company posted a significant 43% drop in adjusted profit before tax, falling from £106.7 million to £60.4m.

Adjusted EBITDA fell 29% to £100.8m and revenue declined 4% to £690.1m.
