Operating profit before exceptional items was £487k, falling to a £178k loss after exceptions items, the result of “an exceptional bad debt of £665k, which took a disappointing if creditable performance into a loss-making situation”, according to non-executive chairman Jack C Parkinson’s statement in the accounts.The previous year, the company made a profit of £1.1m.

Through the year, the company reports temporary labour provision rising, partially offset by a 6% fall in permanent placement revenue.
