    Major recruiter in accountancy sector reports leap in second quarter profits

    Author Date published July 5, 2007 Categories

    Michael Page shares leapt to 595p yesterday after the accountancy recruiter
    reported a 38% rise in gross profits for the second quarter of 2007.

    The company specialises in accountants, lawyers and engineers, and saw
    profits for the quarter climb to £121m.

    The company has worked on overseas expansion with six new offices abroad and 
    has more on the way.

    Reported in the Daily Telegraph, Steve Ingham, chief executive,
    said: ‘There is clearly a continuing strong demand for talent throughout the
    globe and with a shortage of suitably qualified people, the sourcing of
    candidates on an international basis is a key differentiator for Michael Page.’
