The Insights Group, the Dundee-based people development organisation, saw its overall pre-tax profit rise by 19% to £5.9 million last year.
Accounts for the parent trading body, which cover 22 global subsidiaries, for the year to March 31, 2016, have been published by Companies House.
They show turnover up 17% at £32.6m which director Andy Lothian said was due primarily to organic growth and increasing the focus on global clients.
He added: “During the year the group has continued to invest in high calibre senior personnel to drive both revenue growth and operation efficiencies.
“This has resulted in a short term reduction in operating margin (a margin points fall of 1.9% to 13.8%), however the directors expect both the revenue and operating margin to increase in the next financial year as the group enjoys a return on this investment.”
Insights, with a workforce of around 300, provides people development programmes that help companies all over the world get the very best from their people at work.
Its solutions are based on Jungian psychology and use a broad range of psychometric models of increasing depth to help people communicate more effectively, understand themselves and others and tackle pressing business challenges.
The 2016 group accounts were issued in the same week as those of a number of the subsidiaries, including Insights Learning & Development Ltd.
It achieved a 15% rise in turnover at £16.9m and doubled its pre-tax profit at £4m.
It has activities throughout Europe and North America and is now expanding into Asia.
