CBG Group, the Manchester based insurance broker and
financial services specialist, has reported an 89% rise in full year adjusted pre tax profits to £1.2m (2005: £640,000).

The company said turnover from continuing operations grew 21% to £2.5m (2005: £2.9m) and group turnover was up 77% to £5.2m, boosted by strong performance of acquisitions.

The Group said it was currently considering a number of other potential acquisitions.

Laurie Turnbull, Chairman of CBG said: “The Group's strategy remains to grow rapidly through a combination of selective regional acquisitions and also organic growth from existing operations, principally through cross-selling
across the Group's trading divisions."
