Brunel University win Championship final at Twickenham
The Uxbridge-based side swept past Stamford 45-15 in the southwest London sunshine thanks to a five-try burst during the first half which put them in total control of proceedings. Brunel, who lost 43-31 in the Counties 2 Championship final to Old Rutlishians last year, did not let up during the second half either, adding two more scores to complete the comprehensive win. 'I am massively proud of the boys,' said Ingram. 'We have been going for nearly 10 months and have played 26 games up to this point, only dropping one. 'It has taken a lot of effort to keep the boys motivated and to their credit, they have continued to work hard and have not complained once. 'This victory is a massive reward for their effort, and I love being part of this with them.' (Image: Mark Chappell) Brunel captain Jack Thorn broke the deadlock with the try of the match inside the opening 10 minutes. The fly-half intercepted the ball from a stray Stamford pass before sprinting the length of the field to crash over. Flanker Harvey Hart then struck with a brace – both efforts opportunistically taken from close range - to give Brunel a commanding lead midway through the first half. Winger Ben Radnor further extended the advantage of the Londoners, brilliantly side-stepping his way past the last player in his way to score on 27 minutes. Stanford refused to roll over however, and George Cox's battling try in the corner five minutes before the break demonstrated there was still fight left in his team. But Nick Gali's try minutes before the interval capped off a dominant first half for the university side, with the scoreline reading 33-5. Brunel's momentum continued after the break, as Martin Cernohorsky powered over for the men in grey's sixth try. Stamford's Freddie Chapman made sure his side would not go scoreless during the second period and Edward Cox made sure his team had the final word after Ollie Thompson had added Brunel's seventh try. Ingram is also hoping the triumph will propel his outfit to future success, adding: 'We are trying to get this Saturday group as high as we can in terms of promotions as fast as we can, and this result will only help.'

Brunel Q1 2025 results: Operating in challenging market conditions
Amsterdam, 9 May 2025 – Brunel International N.V. (Brunel; BRNL), a global specialist delivering customised project and workforce solutions to drive sustainable industry transformations through technology and talent, today announced its results for the first quarter 2025. Q1 2025 Highlights Total Revenue of EUR 310.5 million, down 11% (down 10% organically) Gross Profit of EUR 56.5 million, down 18% (down 17% organically) Cost reduction program delivered EUR 6 million lower cost to EUR 48.1m, down 11% Underlying EBIT of EUR 8.4 million, down 44% (down 35% organically) Peter de Laat, CEO: 'As expected, we faced a challenging first quarter in 2025. The combination of increasing geopolitical uncertainty and a weakening economic environment caused further delays in new projects being started by our clients. This particularly impacted our perm recruitment fees. For the first time in two years, we observed clients immediately postponing direct hires across all our core markets and almost all countries, leading to a EUR 3 million year-on-year decrease in perm fees. While the market for perm fees is even more volatile than usual, it may also rebound quickly. The ongoing shortage of talents and skills, combined with substantial planned investments, continues to create promising opportunities. We are seeing new projects starting in the Americas and the Middle East & India in the second quarter. In the DACH-region, we are making progress in growing industries such as Defence and Energy, although growth in these sectors has not yet fully offset declines in other industries. Clients in the Netherlands continue to show reduced appetite to work with freelancers. The implemented cost reduction program has effectively aligned our operating cost with the lower level of activity. We are maintaining our increased focus on efficiencies. We are making progress on executing our IT and AI strategy, aimed at improving conversion rates, enhancing specialist retention, and reducing time spent on routine tasks. We anticipate macroeconomic uncertainty to persist in the near term. While growth prospects and planned investments, especially outside Europe, remain diverse and positive, their timing will depend on when clients decide to initiate projects. As soon as economic conditions improve, we are well positioned to seize new opportunities.' Results call Today (9 May 2025), at 10:30 AM CET, Brunel will be hosting a results call.
