The drpgroup is on track to deliver another record year
following continued investment in new people and
infrastructure.
The group is heading towards an EBITDA profit figure of
£1.4 million as it continued to win new business and increase
the number of projects delivered for existing clients. The group
has worked with over 60 regular clients and gained 27 new clients
this year, the company also acquired digital, web development and
mobile app specialists MS Internet and taken on 35 new team
members, all contributing to increased capacity, better
efficiencies and the group's progress towards a record breaking
year.
The drpgroup have invested close to £1 million in new
technical equipment and IT infrastructure as well as increasing
environmental efficiencies across the group, resulting in a 60%
reduction in electricity consumption and the repeat accredited
certification in environmental management standards ISO:14001 and
BS8901. Working to these standards has allowed the group to cut
internal costs as well as deliver cost savings for clients in a
tough economic environment.
Dale Parmenter commented on the group's record year "In the face
of some very difficult trading conditions, we've been able to
invest on infrastructure and people to increase capacity to keep us
on track for this record year. With budgets working harder than
ever, our focus has been helping our clients cut their costs,
delivering highly cost effective events. This has helped us
maintain our client relationships, increase the projects we've been
delivering for them and work with a whole host of new businesses
this year."
The group has also kept considered focus on its CSR activities
this year, a vital part of the group's ongoing strategy. The team
have been collecting unused toiletries from hotel stays and
distributing them to the needy in regular deliveries throughout the
year, provided sponsorship to local events and festivals, supported
both the Morgan Foundation and Springboard UK charities in
activities in 2011 and assisted the Dogs Trust in fundraising
activities.
