OPD chairman Peter Hearn reassured shareholders at its annual general meeting last week of continuing good performance.
He said: “I am pleased to report that the encouraging start to the year has continued to today’s date. Overall trading is in line with market expectations.”
The group, formerly PSD, changed its name to OPD late last year after acquiring Odgers Ray & Berndtson. The group now operates through four separate business units - Hoggett Bowers, Odgers, Portfolio and PSD.
The OPD deal is likely to double net income for the firm, which amounted to £31.8m in 2005, compared with £25.3m in 2004.
