LLP financial results for 2007

2007 saw LLP Group’s revenue increase by 9% over 2006 to 8.4 Million EUR whilst profits fell by 22% to 230 Thousand EUR.

In general the trading environment has become more challenging in recent years, and even more so in the early months of 2008, with uncertainty over global investment patterns, and rising costs (both in local terms and against the EUR and GBP) ofsetting the opportunity presented by continuing strong economic growth in our regions. 2008 has so far seen growth of around 10% but with increasing pressure on margins. LLP Group now employs over 200 staff in nine countries.

Containing pre-defined processes and data typical of the industry, it was targeted for distribution and wholesale businesses.

The initial estimate of 15 days for implementation proved to be feasible – our first fast-track client started using the system at the beginning of May. The company represents several multinational producers of medical products and consumables on the local market.  The company supplies hospitals with priority items and also engages in tendering procedures.
