SINGAPORE, Jan. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — YY Group Holding Limited (NASDAQ: YYGH) (“YY Group” or the “Company”), a global leader in on-demand workforce solutions and integrated facilities management (IFM), today announced that its Hong Kong subsidiary, YY Circle HK, has initiated service on casual staffing agreements with 12 premier hotels across Hong Kong, including 10 new partners and two previously announced properties under a leading Hong Kong hotel group.

With the addition of these hotels, YY Circle HK’s client network now encompasses over 30 hotels and catering groups in Hong Kong, representing a robust 150% year-over-year increase and demonstrating the Company’s accelerating market penetration in one of Asia’s top hospitality hubs. Across the 12 properties, YY Circle HK expects to deliver tens of thousands of worker assignments annually in areas such as housekeeping, front office, F&B service, concierge operations, and recreational facilities.
These high-volume, multi-department engagements broaden the Company’s revenue base and enhance visibility into future operating performance. The growing scale of YY Circle HK’s hospitality business also strengthens operating leverage, as technology-driven deployment improves both efficiency and margin potential across the Company’s regional operations.
“We are pleased to deepen our presence in Hong Kong with another meaningful step forward in our hospitality expansion,” said Mike Fu, Chief Executive Officer of YY Group Holding Limited. “The addition of these premier hotels reflects the trust the industry places in our scalable and technology-driven labor solutions. As we continue to expand across Asia, these partnerships will provide long-term, predictable revenue streams that enhance our growth outlook, accelerating our development while creating value for our clients and shareholders.”
Anthony Ip, Co-founder and Country Director of YY Circle HK, added, “Partnering with this group of esteemed hotels represents a significant milestone for YY Circle HK in just our third year of operation, highlighting our growing reputation for excellence. Supported by YY Group’s advanced tech and extensive labor pool, we are uniquely equipped to deliver professionally trained manpower at scale and solve hospitality’s most complex staffing challenges. We look forward to empowering these local partners and further strengthening our brand presence across the Hong Kong market.”
Hong Kong’s casual labor sector is experiencing a demand surge driven by policy changes and favorable economic conditions. As hospitality operators seek more agile and efficient workforce solutions, YY Group’s flexible deployment capabilities, advanced workforce-management technology, and broad geographic scale position the Company to capture growing demand and capitalize on rising opportunities in Hong Kong and beyond.
