ICT recruiter Networkers International said trading had been strong throughout 2006. It said the integration of MSB International was underway.

It said both businesses were performing in line with expectations. The group's global headquarters are now based in Bromley, with offices spanning 11 countries worldwide. Additional premises have been sourced in Covent Garden, London, which will house Networkers Telecommunications consultants and MSB Finance and MSB Secretarial recruitment teams.

Spencer Manuel (pictured), chief executive of Networkers, said: “As consolidation becomes an increasingly popular trend in the recruitment industry, a good foundation has been set for possible further acquisitions to take place.”
