The Dublin-based computer group, Horizon, yesterday announced record financial results for the six months to the end of December. But while the firm, a private company, said revenues had increased 43 per cent on the year-ago period to £34.6 million, it would not release income figures.

General manager, Mr Charles Garvey forecast strong growth for the next six months, predicting that revenues would rise 66 per cent to £75 million. Horizon employs 125 people and offers information technology services across Europe.
