Focusing on the integration of Spring and MPS was a primary reason for the fall in Adecco UK and Ireland’s revenue reduction in Q4 of 2010, according to Adecco.Adecco Group’s results showed that while revenue growth for the Adecco Group as whole increased by 32% (17% organically, ie excluding the impact of currency, acquisitions and divestitures) compared with Q4 in 2009, Q4 year-on-year growth in the UK and Ireland fell by 1% organically to €411m (£352m). An Adecco statement explained that one reason for this was because “the successful integration of Spring and MPS was the main focus in 2010”.
