YYGH YY Group Holding Ltd

YY Group Holding Limited (NASDAQ: YYGH) (“YY Group,” “YYGH,” or the “Company”), a leading provider of innovative on-demand workforce solutions and integrated facility management (IFM), is proud to announce its official acquisition of the YY Circle Hong Kong outfit maintaining Anthony Ip as the Country Director and Co-founder.

As part of this strategic move, YY Circle Hong Kong, which previously operated independently under the YY Circle brand through a platform fee arrangement, will now transition to being a majority-owned subsidiary of YY Group. This change strengthens YY Group’s presence in the region while retaining local expertise, with the current Country Director maintaining a 10% equity stake and continuing to lead operations to ensure seamless continuity and effective execution.

The Hong Kong casual labour market, valued at approximately US$16 billion, presents significant potential, this thriving market underscores a strong demand for innovative staffing solutions. According to a recent report by the Hong Kong Law Reform Commission, there are approximately 700,000 gig workers in the city.

YY Circle addresses these challenges by offering a platform that connects casual labourers with opportunities while also providing access to essential resources and support, ensuring a more stable and secure environment for casual laborers.

“Hong Kong’s vibrant casual labour market provides a unique opportunity for YY Group to deliver impactful solutions that ease the workforce challenges faced by businesses,” said Mike Fu, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director at YY Group Holding Limited. “Our financial projection of HK$15.03 million (approximately US$1.92 million) for the first fiscal year highlights the immense potential and value we see in this market.”

This move shows YY Group’s commitment to helping local industries enhance operational efficiency while addressing workforce shortages that hinder growth. By leveraging advanced technology and tailored solutions, YY Group aims to meet the unique demands of Hong Kong’s dynamic economy. The casual labour sector, particularly in accommodation and food services, remains a core focus as the region experiences ongoing demand for flexible and scalable staffing options.

“By offering a localized solution, YY Group is empowering businesses and casual laborers alike to thrive in Hong Kong’s competitive market,” Mike added. “We are also actively exploring opportunities to expand into additional markets, replicating this success regionally and globally.”

The Hong Kong acquisition represents a pivotal step in YY Group’s broader global growth strategy. By combining market-specific insights with its innovative approach, YY Group is poised to establish a strong foothold in Hong Kong’s hospitality industry and beyond.
