Inspired Energy plc announced group sales results for the six months ended June 30, 2013. For the period, the company reported order book sales within the division have increased by 18% to £4.0 million compared to £3.4 million a year ago. The combined order book value has also increased by £1.0 million since December 31, 2012 and stands at a record £9.9 million compare to £7.9 million a year ago representing 25% growth year-on-year. The growth in sales is a result of increased opportunities being generated through the telesales team which has benefitted from IT and CRM efficiencies as well as integration into DEP; improved product offering for DEP customers who can now take advantage of IES's trading team which offers bespoke, risk managed contracts; commencement of a new 'Multi-Customer-Management' product within IES which has seen strong take-up from existing and new clients; and increased market presence and an increasing breadth of clients being targeted.

The Board is confident, based on the Group's performance to date, that earnings for the full year are expected to be in line with market expectations.
