Business publishing group Centaur Media today said strong growth in advertising revenues helped it bank a 28% rise in annual profits.
The group, which publishes The Lawyer, Marketing Week and Money Marketing, said ad revenues increased by 16% thanks to strong demand in the legal and financial sector during the year to the end of June.
Adjusted pre-tax profits jumped to a record £16.9m (€24m), up from £13.2m (€18.8m) last year, as growth in the firm’s events business and the launch of new products also boosted revenues.
