FDM Group Holdings (LSE: FDM) offers IT services such as project management, business analysis and data operations, as well as product development. It has offices around the world, and the London-based firm was promoted to the FTSE 250 in March this year.
In July, it revealed that revenues for the six months ended June had surged from £86.5m to £117.1m, boosting pre-tax profits from £15.5m to £20.6m.

Intu Properties (LSE: INTU) is a shopping-centre owner and manager.

Despite this, Intu expects another year of rental income growth after a solid third quarter. It has agreed leases between July and November for £13m of annual rent.
