Phaidon Holdings, the parent company of London-headquartered, multi-sector recruitment group Phaidon International, has announced a net fee income (NFI) increase of 35% over the last year.

Its unaudited trading update for the full year ended 31 October 2014 showed NFI had risen to about £21.8m and operating profit increased 126% to over £3.6m.

Chief executive Adam Buck told Recruiter the company’s eight new brands, such as the HR brand, that were created five years ago now accounted for just over 50% of NFI, representing a bright spot in the company’s finances.

In the UK, NFI rose by 23% to just under £12m, though it was the US and APAC [Asia-Pacific] regions driving growth.

A statement from the company said it had made “significant investment” over the year in developing its offerings across the US, Switzerland and Singapore, as well as opening a new office in Hong Kong.

Buck said in the statement the investment in office space would allow the company to meet its plans for “aggressive growth” in the coming year.
