Caterer's stock shines _2

Shares in catering recruiter Berkeley Scott enjoyed a bounce after its first-half results. The company reported a loss, but was upbeat on future prospects. However, the shares are still worth less than a quarter of their value of just over a year ago.

IT specialist Lorien has moved from the main list to the Alternative Investment Market. Its shares have slipped to near a 12-month low. Meanwhile, rival Parity told its annual general meeting that the recruitment business was performing well, but this failed to boost its shares.

MSB International is higher despite indications that Quantica is losing interest in taking it over. Staffline also issued an optimistic trading update, and the shares edged up.
