British Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) firm Serco’s profits grew 19% to £2.17billion (approximately US$3 billion) in the first half of 2021 due to its Covid Test and Trace contract with the UK government.
The outsourcing company reported that 17% of its 1H revenue came directly from supporting the government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
A series of acquisitions in Australia and the US also increased its pre-tax profits by 35% to £103.7million (approximately US$144 million).
