Cello Group expects to hit full year targets

Marketing firm Cello said robust trading continued in the first six months to end of June and it is confident results for the full year will be in line with expectations. Cello Health has continued to grow revenues, with most income coming from outside the UK. Cello Consumer has returned to strong revenue growth and a solid recovery of margins, as expected. Cello said it is confident that trading for the first six months will be well ahead of the same period in 2012 and that current full year expectations will be met. Chief Executive Mark Scott said: "Our focused strategy continues to deliver the objectives we have set ourselves, giving us a compelling value proposition for clients and a motivating setting for our professionals." "We will continue to invest in the internationalisation of the core offer in our two divisions, enabling us to win ever larger contracts of a more continuous nature." CJ
