Gattaca’s results for the six months to January were encouraging on several levels: productivity improved, costs fell, and the conversion ratio rose. The investment in strategic growth sectors was rewarded, with improving NFI within energy and infrastructure. Despite challenging markets, NFI declined just 3%, outperforming much of the staffing sector as the Group benefitted from the change in strategy and a 71% exposure to contract fees. Growth in adj. EBIT and the conversion rate reflected a ...

Staffline has announced the disposal of its workplace training and employability business, PeoplePlus, for net cash proceeds of up to £6.9m.

Contract NFI declined 1% yoy, with increased summer holidays and a late return to work in January modestly offsetting the growth in contractor numbers and higher salaries. Although permanent NFI...
