A dash (—) means no accounts were filed for that year or the item is not in the accounts; 0 is a zero stated in the accounts. Small companies usually file only a balance sheet, so the profit and loss account is often missing.

Principal activity

Accounts 2025

The company is limited by guarantee and was incorporated on 1 March 2001 by a group of 37 British Universities. It was established to carry on the business of selection and appointment of advertising agents and management of contracts placed with such agents. Each of these existing original full members (now 35 in total) hold an entitlement to any future profit from the company's operations. The company is funded by subscriptions paid by the Universities within its membership. It should be noted that there are two classes of members within UAG Limited: 35 full members who benefit from an interest in jobs.ac.uk and other media advertising arrangements; and 3 Associate members who benefit only from other media advertising arrangements negotiated by UAG Limited for the total membership. The 35 full (original) members hold a "Golden Share" interest in jobs.ac.uk which means that the venture cannot be sold without the involvements and agreement of these 35 original UAG members. The subscription rate of £800 for full members has been maintained during the financial year, with associate members paying a subscription rate of £500, and these rates were agreed until July 2025. The staff recruitment landscape in higher education in the UK remains increasingly competitive and challenging, with universities continuing to face pressure to attract and retain top talent amid growing demand for specialized skills and expertise, while maintaining cost constrained recruitment activity.
