Wilmington shrugs off publishing gloom

Date: Thursday 10 Jul 2008

LONDON (ShareCast) - Business publisher and events organiser Wilmington has sidestepped problems elsewhere in the industry and forecast profits to June will be significantly ahead of last year, albeit aided by acquisitions.

It expects strong growth in turnover and profits at the legal and regulatory Division. Recent acquisitions of the Mercia Group, Practice Track, The Matchett Group, APIS and Aspire are expected to meet expectations and contribute to the growth in turnover and profitability.

Wilmington Business Information's health and pharmaceutical businesses are also anticipated to show strong growth in turnover and profits, but the media and entertainment businesses have experienced more demanding trading conditions and are expected to show lower revenues and profits.
