Recruitment group CPL Resources has reported pre-tax profits of €941,000 for its first half to the end of December, an increase of 35% on the same period a year earlier.
Turnover was up 48% to €34.7m while earnings per share grew by 40% to 2.1 cent. CPL described the period as challenging.
CPL said the placement of temporary workers and contractors was an increasingly important part of its business. The group has been trying to expand its activities to mitigate the effects of the downturn in the technology sector.
