Matchtech posts 36% profit hike

Date: Tuesday 16 Oct 2007

LONDON (ShareCast) - Technical recruitment specialist Matchtech posted a 36% increase in pre-tax profit thanks to strong organic growth and said it anticipates another successful year.

Pre-tax profit rose to £10.5m for the full year against £7.7m last time on turnover up by 295% to £202.8m. “The outlook in our marketplace continues to be positive,” said chairman George Materna.

“Labour demand across all our sectors remains healthy and this looks set to continue for the foreseeable future,” he added.

The maiden final dividend comes to 9.3p per share on a total dividend for the year of 13.7p .

The group said the results exclude the sales and profits from the US business sold in August and non-recurring costs of the IPO.
