Recruitment firm CPL says its business continues to benefit from growth in employment in the Irish market and from increased demand for its services across most sectors.
In an update on its activities for the six months ending December, CPL said its trading performance has been strong and that profits for the half year period are likely to exceed current market expectations.
'CPL has had a very good start to the current financial year,' commented Chairman John Hennessy.
'The combination of a strong business model, an exceptional team of people and a favourable economic environment have enabled us to deliver continued growth in our profits since 30 June 2005,' he added.
CPL shares were up 16 cent to €2.62 in Dublin this afternoon - a gain of 6.5%
