Communications services provider Gamma Communications reported a sharp increase in profit as revenue was bolstered by acquisitions in Europe and growth across all key product categories during the year.

For the year ended 31 December, pre-tax profit rose 66% to £75 million year-on-year as revenue grew by 20% to £393.8 million.

Organic revenue growth of 9% was 'slightly lower than originally expected due to the lower rate of sales in the second quarter driven by the COVID-19 pandemic,' the company said.

The company proposed a final dividend of 7.8 pence per share, up 11% from 7.0 pence last year.

Looking ahead, the company said it is positive about the outlook for the group in 2021 and beyond.
