APRIL 2005 - Eutopia announces strong half-year results
Eutopia is delighted to announce strong half
year (November 2004 - April 2005) results, building on the
excellent performance of the previous 6 months.
Eutopia's turnover increased by 30% on the
previous 6 months, with an almost 40% increase in turnover
on the same period last year. More encouragingly, profits
grew 5-fold on the preceeding 6 months trading - due to
improved trading conditions, a strong performance by Eutopia's
sales team and a restructuring of cost base mid-last year.
On the results, Eutopia's Managing Director,
Craig Coverman, comments:
"We are delighted with this set of half-yearly
results, which reflect not only better market conditions,
but also lots of hard work put in by by the Eutopia teams.
These results will act as a springboard for growth for the
company - with further investments to be made in our people,
systems and profile on the market.
In the meantime, we'd like to thank
all our Clients, Candidates and Contractors for their continued
support and encouragement."
JUNE 2005 - Eutopia 'sponsors' clean water in Uganda
Many villages in Uganda have no access to
clean, purified water - and, sadly, it is little wonder
that almost half of all infant mortality in this country
is caused by drinking 'dirty' water. As part of its continued
'Global Community' initiatives, Eutopia is delighted to
be sponsoring JENGA, a Ugandan-based charity aimed at delivers
help and assistance directly to the people that most need
it.
Our financial assistance is going straight into a number
of water supply projects in the Mbale region, surveying
areas around the most needy villages, laying pipes and establishing
water purification points to ensure the delivery of clean
water to those villages and ultimately saving lives.
See our 'Community'
section for further details and, as ever, do not hesitate
to contact Eutopia's Managing Director if you too would
like to contribute or assist in this worthwhile cause.
DECEMBER 2004 - Eutopia's Global Christmas Initiative
As part of our annual 'Global' initiative,
Eutopia has decided NOT to send its clients and candidates
'Festive Greetings' cards this December! Rather, we will
be emailing our clients and candidates this year and making
a project-based donation to a worthwhile 'global' charity
instead.
Eutopia has selected The Pallisa Childrens
Concern Project (PCCP), a charity in Uganda that cares for
over 250 children, orphaned by War and AIDS. In addition,
it also helps to sponsor a further 300 other children in
respect of their food, healthcare and education.
We have specifically assisted the PCCP by
funding the roof on a new school it was in the process of
building, in fact, the first school in an area where there
are no other secondary schools.
We are delighted to be helping in this way
and would urge others to contribute to this worthwhile venture
too. Further details of this (and pictures) are available
on this web site under our 'Community' section.
In the meantime, may we wish all of you a
happy, healthy and peaceful 'festive' season - and a tremendous
2005.

in the National Health Service programme for IT (NPfIT).

repository and digital images
-
The provision of facilities for electronic
booking of appointments
-
Electronic transfer of prescriptions
-
An underpinning IT Infrastructure with
sufficient connectivity and broadband capacity to meet
future NHS needs

as Clusters) comprising London, Eastern, North East, North
West and Southern - and many well known organisations have
won their bids to be selected as suppliers to one or more
of the clusters - as well as for the NHS 'Spine'. Eutopia
is pleased to be supplier of choice to a number of the leading
consortium members and, as such, is in the unique position
to place candidates covering a variety of disciplines -
whether on a permanent or contract basis - across the length
and breadth of the UK.

to the UK markets

current recruitment efforts in the UK, Eutopia has been

Further news on this major assignment will follow in further
months, but in the meantime, we wish our Global Sourcing

Following our success in getting to the finals
in year's National Business Awards, Eutopia last night (July

Eutopia beat off stiff competition to win

share improvement.

and volume of entrants for our Award. With the business
environment becoming ever tougher, it is rewarding to see
companies placing a high level of importance on entering
these awards.

for businesses of all sizes, so winning a prestigious National
Business Award really sets a company apart. At Microsoft
Business Solutions we are committed to helping small to
medium sized enterprises achieve differentiation through
connected applications."

"had successfully adapted to a difficult market place

customers had added considerably to the bottom line and
led to new staff opportunities and jobs."

markets.

launch of a new Division, Eutopia Health Professionals,
to focus on the supply of doctors, pharmacists, nurses and
other healthcare professionals onto the European markets.
We are proud to announce that our first major
'health' client is already on board, with the signing of
