With a network of 710 agencies and consolidated turnover of €1,891.2 million, SYNERGIE generated growth over 9 months of +11.6 % in relation to 2017 (+7.1 % on a like-for-like basis).

The Group's expansion outside of France continued at a strong pace over the period, reaching €996.1 million (+18.0%), with net increases in its strongest regions: +16.4 % in southern Europe, +6.9 % in the Benelux countries.

Growth in the Austrian subsidiary, which was integrated in November 2017, was confirmed in the third quarter (+17.9%), while the UK activity regained momentum (+12.4 % on a like-for-like basis).

International activity now accounts for 53 % of consolidated activity.

In France, turnover reached €895.1 million (+5.2 %), with SYNERGIE remaining selective to preserve its profit margins; digital services company DCS EASYWARE, which was integrated in June 2018, saw growth of nearly 10 % over the quarter.

In a more strained recruitment environment, SYNERGIE maintained its solid positions both in France and internationally by optimising its cross-sourcing offer and investing in training for both temporary and permanent employees.

Confident in its performances and benefiting from a stronger financial structure, SYNERGIE Group is actively seeking opportunities for external growth, notably with a view to expansion in Nordic countries and Eastern Europe.
