Current Financial Overview

In the fiscal year 2007, the Brightside Group was disappointed in its performance. The company had proven that the strategies that they had used in 2006 were ineffective in 2007. Due to the global changes in the economy that affected the U.K.’s market, the company identified the areas where they had performed well, and decided to put together Brightside’s lead generation and Group Direct’s insurance operations. They are optimistic that in 2008 their aim will be achieved so that the company will recover from what it had obtained in the fiscal year 2007.
