We anticipate further organic growth across our continuing operations, while our recent equity raise of \u00a38m provides us with a strong balance sheet with which to fund our ongoing, targeted M&amp;A strategy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Add to this the fact that the outlook for the infrastructure sector remains buoyant and we are positive that we are well positioned for the year ahead.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Cirencester-based business is planning to sell off its Suction Excavator division &#8211; which accounted for 5% of its income &#8211; and is now treating that part of the business as discontinued operations.<\/p>\n<p>Its continuing operations saw a 43% increase in adjusted pre-tax profits, to \u00a32.6m, although the Suction Excavators business recorded a loss of \u00a31.3m.<\/p>\n<p>Korkmaz added: &#8220;We have yet again exceeded the market&#8217;s expectations and achieved another record year, delivering growth across all our core performance metrics.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In doing so, our revenue growth for the last three years since listing has averaged 48% (CAGR), a performance of which we are incredibly proud.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Cross-selling has continued to be a strong feature, and we have broadened our ability to maintain this trend having delivered our first acquisition during the year. This has provided us with a solid footing in the white-collar and permanent recruitment market, complementing our blue-collar labour supply services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Momentum is expected to be maintained after &#8216;exceeding market expectations&#8217;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":4089,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[120781,9],"coauthors":[81],"class_list":["post-18405","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-markets","category-property","tag-gloucestershire","tag-top-story"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 -
