Particularly significant is that 7 out of our 25 largest implementations within the period were into the world’s ‘emerging markets’ and that many major contracts were won where clients moved over to Dillistone from direct competitors. This is an endorsement of our position as the market leader in the global Recruitment Software industry.”

The Group has been very cash generative and gives us a strong platform to continue to develop in 2008 despite the economic uncertainty seen recently in world markets.”
