Bloomsbury Publishing PLC (LSE:BMY) founder and chief executive Nigel Newton CBE speaks to Proactive following the release of half-year results that revealed strong growth in revenues and profits. The growth was well distributed around the business and he says the company has "ambitious plans" for expansion of both its Consumer and Academic & Professional divisions.Newton says that Bloomsbury's strategy of combining consumer and academic publishing gives it "the ultimate portfolio for balancing cyclical ups and downs in either the High Street or the institutional market against each other in a thoroughly benign way."#proactiveinvestors #bloomsbury
