“Every region within our European network has achieved better results than last year,” said Andrew Summers, ACS’s Europe Regional Director, in a press release. “With strong performances from our German and Spanish offices and a better-than-expected return from our Italian office, in its first full year of trading.”
Summers continued:
‘We are particularly pleased with the increase in market share from our French-speaking business, which we target from our offices in Paris, Geneva, Brussels and Monaco, with it significantly growing, by 49% year-on-year. Some of these offices have had their figures slightly boosted by factors such as the World Cup, supply chain disruptions caused by the conflict in Iran, and a few Middle East evacuations in March, but underlying growth is still very strong…’
