Encore Personnel Services has seen turnover rise by 62% in 2010 on the previous year, according to its year-end 2010 financial results.

With turnover rising to £22.6m, the firm has also announced the opening of a new office in Birmingham, its 17th divisional location.

Greg Latham, managing director at Encore, says: “I’m really proud of our achievements in 2010 which has seen our biggest year-on-year increase in terms of turnover. It has meant we have been able to greatly increase our retained earnings with zero debt and still leave pre tax margins at industry leading levels.

“Our confidence is illustrated by the new branch opening in Birmingham this week, which will be followed by more expansion throughout 2011.”
