Mitie acquisitions boost half-year profit by 12%

摘要

Mitie has reported a 12% jump in profit to ￡47.5m for the half year to 30 September, bucking the trend of outsourcing companies recently hit by government cuts. Revenue was also up by 14.7% to ￡918.7m. The results came just four days after Capita, the parent company of consultant Capita Symonds, told the City that cuts in public spending were beginning to dampen company growth. Ruby McGregor-Smith, Mitie chief executive, said that the figures were "a strong set of results in turbulent times".
