In its trading statement, covering the six months to 30 June 2009, Healthcare Locums says all its divisions are showing consistent month-on-month revenue growth.

The statement continues: “In June, the group recorded its best ever run rate performance, with a run rate turnover of £203m compared to the £189m announced at the annual general meeting (AGM) of May 2009.

“Importantly, June reflected a gross margin run rate increase from £61m per annum reported at the AGM, to a run rate in June of £63m per annum.

“In the UK marketplaces, the doctors, qualified social workers and allied health professional divisions have all delivered solid performances, while the international permanent placement division has shown notably impressive growth during the first half of 2009. 

“The driver for the company’s continuing strong growth is growing demand for qualified health and social care professionals, against a background of limited supply.  All divisions have grown marketshare and retain their market leading positions. 

Kate Bleasdale, executive vice chairman of the group (pictured), says: “We see enormous opportunities for further growth in all our divisions. We look forward with confidence to the second half of 2009 and beyond.”
