SYNERGIE Group, the fifth-largest Human Resources Management player in Europe, made turnover of €1,991.5 million in 2016, up 10.7% in relation to 2015 (+10.3% on a like-for-like basis).
Growth accelerated in the fourth quarter of 2016 (+11.7%, the strongest rate of quarterly growth in 2016), despite one less working day (impact of €8.2 million) and the depreciation of the pound sterling (impact of €5.8 million over the quarter).
At €958.3 million, the group's international activity (48% of consolidated turnover) showed strong growth (+9.5%), notably in regions in which SYNERGIE is well established, such as the Benelux countries (+15.2%) and southern Europe (+15.2%).
In France, turnover saw double-digit growth throughout the year, surpassing the one-billion-euro threshold for the first time (+11.8%).
This outperformance in a market that saw growth of 6.7% as at 30 November according to Prism'emploi data, can be attributed to strategic investment in high-growth sectors such as aeronautics, renewable energies and specialised services, which present innovative offerings (OpenCenters, Global Cross Sourcing, etc.), in an economic environment that shows positive trends for all activities.
The Group also pursued negotiations with several European networks to extend its offering among large continental accounts, while at the same time maintaining sufficient geographical and human proximity to deliver services that meet the requirements of all our clients.
On the back of this performance and its solid financial position, SYNERGIE aims to generate turnover of around €2.2 billion over the current financial year.
