LONDON (Alliance News) - Recruitment company InterQuest Group PLC on Monday said it has performed well in 2015 so far, with good trading in its contract business and improved operating margins.

In a statement to be given at the company's annual general meeting, Non-Executive Chairman Gary Ashworth said InterQuest is trading in line with its expectations in 2015, with good momentum in its contract business and a further strengthening in its permanent recruitment franchise, particularly in the second quarter.

That, Ashworth said, has led to a continued improvement in operating margins.

"Our business will remain focussed and we will continue to expand into new areas of the digital and technology market as they emerge. Given the expertise within the company and, with confidence building in the economic outlook, we look forward to the rest of the year with optimism," he added.
