Legal staffing specialist Shilton Sharpe Quarry has seen profits grow, according to audited results for the year ended 31 December 2010.

The group’s results reveal profit before tax rose 116% to £3.3m, while gross profit was more than £10m, up 43% on 2009.

Director Gareth Quarry says: “2011 has started even more strongly and we are on course to increase materially our gross and net profits further this year. At the half-year we had booked gross profit of over £8m and expect to surpass our 2010 financial performance.

“We have grown our consultant numbers in recent months, both in London and continental Europe, and currently number over 40 fee-earners.”
