Huntsworth Health sees 7.1 percent revenue growth in 2013

Huntsworth Health experienced another strong financial performance during 2013, according to data from parent company Huntsworth.

The healthcare division of the communications group generated revenues of 57.1 million pounds last year, up by 7.1 percent on a like-for-like basis. It also recorded strong margins of 20.8 percent.

According to the group's latest financial report, this growth was driven by the ongoing digitalisation of all Huntsworth Health agencies, while the formation of a new social marketing and digital PR agency provided an additional growth platform in the final quarter.

As such, the firm expects the division will continue with this positive momentum into 2014, providing a key driver of growth for Huntsworth as a whole.

Lord Chadlington, Huntsworth's chief executive, said: "Our success in investing in people, geographies and skills in 2013 and our plans to extend this programme in 2014 will provide the best possible basis for growth in the years ahead."

The organisation is one of the world's largest public relations and integrated healthcare communications groups, operating 73 principal offices in 28 countries.
