Overview

Freed from the restrictions of a large group Integral’s growth accelerated in the period after the buy out in July 2005. Turnover was less than £100 million in 2004 but grew to over £190 million in 2009.

The deal was subsequently awarded “Deal of the Year” at the 2006 South West Deals Awards ceremony.
