21 July 2017 – trading update
The international specialist staffing group has announced that it has delivered a record first half performance, with net fee income up 20% compared with the first half of 2016. Recent acquisitions have been successfully integrated and are performing well and the group remains on course to meet full year expectations. These are for pre-tax profits of £12.6m for earnings per share of 14.1p – the interim results are due on 22 August which will provide a further update. We continue to rate the shares as a BUY.
