Legal and professional services company Ince said it would consider whether to resume dividends when it reports final results next year following an uptick in first-half performance.

For the six months ended 30 September 2020, pre-tax profit rose to £2.52m from £0.15m year-on-year as revenue was up 6% to £48.2m.

The results reflected continued development of the business following the settling in of the Ince acquisition, the company said.

'These results demonstrate that we are in a position to deliver future growth and, if that continues over coming months, we should be able to declare a dividend with the final results,' the company said.
