Synergie confirmed its excellent start to the year, with consolidated first-half turnover of €1,238.4 million, up 12.9% from 2017 (+9.3% on a like-for-like basis).
The International division, which now accounts for 52.5% of consolidated turnover, recorded very strong growth of 19.8% (12.6% on a like-for-like basis).
The sharp increase in activity continued in France: +6.1%
At the beginning of June, Synergie acquired a 66% stake in the French digital services company DCS EASYWARE, enabling it to position itself in a booming market and to round out its services to include IT outsourcing, consulting services and technical assistance.
At the start of the third quarter, almost 75,000 employees were assigned daily with clients, setting new historical records.
These performances are the result of investments made (recruitment of consultants, reinforced position in the buoyant sectors targeted, intensive training initiatives, etc.) and market trends in the sixteen countries in which the Group has operations.
Thanks to its financial solidity, Synergie is actively studying acquisition opportunities to speed up its growth, principally internationally, with the objective of achieving turnover of €2.6 billion over the current financial year.
