Compass has lots on its plate

Contract caterer Compass said the positive performance in the first quarter of its fiscal year continued into the second quarter.

Total year-on-year revenue growth in the first half of the financial year is expected to be around 8.5%, with organic growth set to increase by nearly 5%, driven by further good performances in North America and Fast Growing & Emerging Markets.

"As we look out to the second half, whilst the current economic uncertainty is likely to continue to put pressure on like-for-like volume in some regions, we remain positive about the opportunities to grow the business and we are encouraged by the pipeline of new business," the company said.
