Hogg Robinson Group recorded "essentially the same" client spending as the prior year in the October-January period,

according to an interim financial statement. HRG noted continued high interest among customers in improved compliance and security monitoring and the growing appeal of end-to-end solutions, meeting and conference management and consolidated service centers. Publicly traded on the London Stock Exchange, the travel management company said it would meet previously disclosed profit expectations. "Client tenders are continuing at a high level and our new business pipeline remains strong," HRG said.
