Empresaria impresses with first-quarter figures

Empresaria has delivered a record first half performance with net fee income up nearly 26%, the specialist staffer revealed in a trading update on Friday.

With strong trading in the UK, Europe and Asia Pacific regions, management has confirmed it is on course to fulfil market expectations for the full year.

“Empresaria has invested in new staff and is bringing together certain brands," the board said. "The benefits of both are expected to be demonstrated over the coming period”.

Most recently, Rishworth Aviation and ConSol Partners were integrated into the group, both of which have performed quite well.

Chief executive Joost Kreulen said: "We have a clear strategy to develop leading specialist brands with sector expertise and we continue to look for further investment opportunities. With our diversified business and mix of service lines, we are confident in our ability to deliver profitable growth."
