Huntsworth today reported 2010 revenues rose 11 percent to $282M while operating profit hit the $40M mark compared to a $13M year earlier deficit.
"Profit before highlighted items" rose 14.8 percent to $48.2M.
CEO Peter Chadlington said with the completion of Huntsworth’s reorganization the firm is winning “more large mandates” than was formerly possible. He is eager to “convert our expanding international pipeline into new clients.”
British Airways is putting the finishing touches on a three-year contract beginning April 1 with Huntsworth’s Grayling unit. That job covers PR in 38 countries.
In December, Grayling notched a contract with electronic toll collector Kapsch Telematic Services, which has an eight-year pact with the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways.
Grayling is Huntsworth's largest operation with revenues of $135M. It is followed by Huntsworth Health ($83M), Citigate ($42M) and Red ($21M).
Huntsworth this week acquired high-tech Atomic PR, the fastest growing independent firm on O’Dwyer’s Top 50 list, for $13.3M.
