Illuminas Reports Revenue Rise and New Recruits

Employee-owned MR provider Illuminas has reported a 27% revenue rise to £10m for the year ended February 2014. The firm has also appointed Steven Maskell as Senior Vice President in its New York office.

The firm, which also has offices in London, and Austin, TX, works in a range of sectors from tech and financial markets to retail and kids. Commenting on the latest financials, Global CEO John Connaughton said: 'These results reflect the commitment and hard work of highly motivated and talented teams internationally, allied to the strength of our relationships with our growing global client base.'

During the last fiscal year, Illuminas appointed eight new members of staff, including Maskell (pictured), who joins with nearly twenty years' experience.
