Huntsworth Health has delivered a strong performance in the first half of 2015, according to parent company Huntsworth's latest financial report.

The division's revenues for the six months grew 10.3 percent on a like-for-like basis to 35.2 million pounds, while operating profit growth came to 14.8 percent, with a margin of 18.7 percent.

Its performance was led by Huntsworth Health's digital consumer agency, which grew like-for-like revenues by 33 percent and operating profit by 72 percent, and new business momentum remained solid 

During the first half, the business won new client mandates with seven of the top 20 pharmaceutical companies, meaning it now works with 19 of the leading 20 pharma companies in the world.

It also won a Communique Award for writing excellence, for work done for Bayer, and the LTEN Innovation Excellence Award for an innovative training programme created for AstraZeneca.

The company said: "This double-digit revenue and operating profit growth is well above industry averages and reflects strong performance for the Huntsworth Health division as a whole."
