Empesaria Profits Up

Recruitment group’s international diversification pays off
The AIM-quoted staffing and recruitment group Empresaria today announced a doubling in revenue and pre-tax profits for the year ended 31 December 2007. The group says it had made significant strides in diversifying its operations internationally.

The group also announced a strong start to 2008, with revenues and net fee income on a like-for-like basis ahead of 2007.

Adjusted pre-tax profits for the year increased 114% to £6.2m on revenue up 96% to £147.8m.

The group said the figures reflected the impact of the acquisition of Headway, its German-based operation as well as a strong performance from its UK businesses.
