FI Group Plc, the UK-based IT services group, is planning a move into international markets. While it is still enjoying buoyant growth in the UK with mid-term net profits up 75% to 5.1m on revenues which climbed 53% to 108.9m, FI has been plotting an international strategy and has recruited Brian Gunn, from Groupe Bull’s worldwide integration services, to be managing director, international operations. FI has already dipped its toe into overseas markets with the acquisition last year of Indian Software house IIS Infotech. FI specializes in the finance, services and retail and leisure sectors and says it is also preparing to enter the ERP market.
