Commenting on the acquisition, Porta's Chief Executive, David Wright, stated: "Cauldron represents another key element in the Porta business plan. It builds on the existing expertise within Newgate Communications and increases the service offering to Cauldron's client base. The revenues acquired will flow through to Porta's bottom line since most costs will be eliminated on Cauldron's move to Newgate Communications' offices."
Porta Communications' share price was down 1.25% to 9.88p at 12:08 on Friday.
