accesso Technology Group plc has announced its interim results for the six months ending 30 June 2014, reporting growth in revenue (+23.3%) and profit (+9.4%).
The Group (formerly LoQ plc) which has successfully pursued an aggressive growth strategy, acquiring complementary technology companies accesso and Siriusware in recent years, is investing in its products range and leveraging its increased scale, “diversifying services geographically and vertically”.
Commenting on the results Tom Burnet, Chief Executive of accesso, said “We have continued to develop our offering during the first half with the plans and goals we set for ourselves.”
He added, “We have also been focusing on investment and integration, building and improving our services and products with the aim of supporting the entire digital customer journey, achieving early wins from our newest business Siriusware as we look to integrate our Accesso offering. As always, the second half is where the significant balance of revenue is generated. Our focus will be to deliver that revenue from our much larger, combined business, with ticketing at the heart of that journey.”
