Thumbs up for CMP Asia

My former colleagues at CMP Asia are singled out for attention in United Business Media's trading update released yesterday. "PR Newswire and CMP Asia continue to perform strongly while trading at CMP Information and CMP Technology has been mixed", the announcement says.

It goes on to say "The strong underlying revenue and profit performance of CMP Asia has continued during the second half of the year. The Hong Kong Jewellery & Watch Fair and Cosmoprof, the largest beauty trade event in Asia, held in September and November respectively, both exceeded expectations. CMP Asia continues to expand its activities throughout this high growth region, most recently with the successful co-launch with CMP Information of the Indian CPhI show in December and with the launch of several new shows in Hong Kong and China".

Well guys, I suppose you can take that as a hearty "Merry Christmas" from the boss.
