Blue Arrow owner Corporate Services Group saw its shares rise 1.6% on Friday after an upbeat statement to shareholders at its annual general meeting.
Tony Martin, CSG chairman, said: “Our UK staffing business had a good start to 2006 with sales, gross margin and operating profit for the first four months of the year pleasingly ahead of the corresponding period last year.”
He continued: “Good progress has been made in each of our commercial staffing businesses with particularly strong performances from Comensura, Blue Arrow Catering and Blue Arrow Managed Services.

He said the interim results for the Group will be ahead of internal plans and would “demonstrate excellent progress over the corresponding period in 2005”.
