In an update for the quarter to the end of June, Compass said organic revenue rose 15%. Revenue in North America was up 14%, while Europe and Rest of World revenue jumped 17% and 20%, respectively.
"Outsourcing trends remain strong and are contributing to an exciting pipeline of new business opportunities across all our regions," it said.
