CROMA Security Solutions Group has hailed the contract it won at the Commonwealth Games as a major factor in it increasing turnover and profit.
The AIM-listed firm's Croma Vigilant arm was part of the overall security at the Glasgow event between May and August with the contract said to have generated around £800,000 in revenue. Croma said the profile it gained from participation in the Games has led to it being invited to tender for more contracts.
The group said annual turnover grew 12 per cent to £14.8 million while pre-tax profit soared from £43,376 to £304,584 in the 12 months to June 30 this year.
Separately, temporary hotel provider Snoozebox also hailed the Commonwealth Games as well as the Ryder Cup and Edinburgh Festivals for an improvement in fortunes in the second half of its financial year.
Snoozebox saw a rise in occupancy, the number of nights it sold and a 25 per cent hike in the average revenue per room to £150.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
