Pre-tax profits at security specialist Legion Group rose to 964,000 in the six months to the end of September - up from 129,000 a year ago.
Turnover more than doubled to 31.2m from 15.3m and gross profits jumped to 5.1m from 2.7m.
Chairman Stephen Thomas said: "These results represent the period during which the business acquired the contracts of CS Group Ltd (trading as Craft Services Group), integrated these contracts with SectorGuard plc and Legion Group plc and rebranded as Legion Group plc.
"The business is now firmly established as a major supplier in the manned guarding sector supported by parking services and electronic security systems divisions operating throughout the United Kingdom.
During this period management have concentrated on the integration of the two businesses and the incorporation of the contracts of Craft Services Group into a single entity."
