Recruitment specialist Staffline said earnings for the full year will be in line with its upwardly revised market expectations.

The group announced in November that it anticipates earnings to be ahead of forecasts, with performance driven by a number of new business wins since June 2009 and a cost-cutting programme implemented throughout the year.

Operational savings have included rationalisation of the branch network, a reduction in central costs and a staff reduction of 20 per cent.

The integration of bolt-on acquisitions has also resulted in improved scope to drive efficiencies.

Chairman and chief executive Andy Hoggarth said the strong performance has given the company the “confidence to continue to review acquisition opportunities as we look to invest further in our expansion”.
