The company said its UK businesses contributed to GBP18.7 million in revenue, while Europe delivered GBP2.8 million.
Gamma upped its interim dividend by 14% to 5.7 pence from 5.0 pence in the first six months of 2022.
Looking ahead, Gamma said given a "healthy" first half performance, it expects to continue to see growth through to the end of the year.
It also expects adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation and adjusted earnings per share to be in the top half of market expectations of GBP110.4 million to GBP117.2 million and 70.0 pence to 77.0 pence respectively.
