This week, YCO Group plc, provider of specialist services to superyachts had some excellent news on the stock market, with its share prices rocketing by more than 100%. This news comes after the Group released its pre-close trading statement last week, which states that it will expect to break even for the financial period to 31 December 2009.

Synfo.com asks Charlie Birkett, Partner & Group CEO at YCO what the company attribute their success to: "The depth of our experience, the breadth of our service offering and most importantly, our dedication to our clients make up the core around which YCO has grown. YCO combines the philosophy of a boutique company with the credibility and financial transparency of a publicly listed one. The team at YCO also collectively offers a yachting background which is virtually unmatched elsewhere in the industry. This, and the fact that YCO has its roots in yacht management rather than brokerage gives us a more specialist and knowledgeable edge. As we have grown, the services we now provide cover almost every aspect of yachting, which appeals to clients who have come to trust us and who can now rely on YCO for an even more comprehensive provision of yacht services."
