Chime Communications plc,Β aΒ leading marketing services group, is today publishing its Interim Management Statement relating to the period 1stΒ July 2009 to 17thΒ November 2009 (as required by the UK Listing Authority's Disclosure and Transparency rules). Lord Bell, Chairman of Chime Communications, said:
"Our first half results for 2009 were ahead of expectations and weΒ delivered the best pretax profit in our history. WeΒ have continued to trade strongly in the second halfΒ of 2009Β and weΒ expect full yearΒ revenueΒ to be ahead of 2008.
We have completed the acquisition of Essentially into our sports marketing group and announced but not yet completed the merger of Pelham and our Bell Pottinger financial public relations company.
We appear to have outperformed our competitors in the sector both small and large. We have controlled our cost base well and look forward to further growth in 2010 as the market recovers."
