Brendan Flood, Chairman, CEO and President, said, “I am very encouraged with our ongoing progress and improved results achieved in the third quarter. The general business outlook remains strong and our business is steadily improving. We continue to gain more business, with often increasingly larger contracts for temporary placement.

“As we progress through the economic recovery, we remain vigilant and cautiously optimistic. We anticipate improved revenue and gross profit in Q4 fueled by the pent-up demand we are experiencing. We are focused on gross profit and EBITDA growth, which may at times come at the expense of lower margin revenue. Our balance sheet is steadily improving - debt today is $10.1 million, down from $72.3 million in June 2020, after paying down $62.2 million. I look forward to a strong end of year and to starting 2022 on solid footing,” concluded Flood.
