The company's turnover for the half year to August 31 rose to £113.4 million, from £76.6, an increase of 48%

Incepta has concentrated on growth, particularly overseas, completing a number of acquisitions that resulted in 45% of its profits coming from outside Britain, compared to 16% last year.

The group has also enjoyed record profits before tax, which doubled to £14.2 million from £7 million at the same point last year.

The company is expected to make even more acquisitions as well as holding a boardroom reshuffle, with Bob Morton to step down as chairman of the group after eight years.
