GB Group: onwards and upwards

Following 7% organic revenue growth in the year to end March 2013 (see GB Group building scale, driving up revenue) trading update, self-styled identity intelligence specialist GB Group has reported a strong start to the current financial year. As well as being boosted by the earnings enhancing acquisition of online employment screening company, CRD (UK) (see GB Group now largest UK DBS umbrella organisation), it is also benefiting from strong demand in the market for online identity services with international capabilities. It looks like we should expect further investment over the rest of the year, for example in its “international verification network (ID3global), as the company continues to look to strengthen its position in the global market.
