Rentokil profits continue to rise

7 April 1998


Rentokil’s pre-tax profits rose 31.1% to £417m as the first full year of contribution from BET came in. According to business analysts, the acquisition of BET in 1996 for £2.2bn has been a masterstroke.

Chief executive Sir Clive Thompson believes he can double BET’s margins to over 14% within three years.
