2020 was a year like no other and when the pandemic struck, we chose to maintain a strong focus on our long-term goals and continue to focus on skills development and intensify the dialogue with our clients. When we now sum up the spring of 2021, we see that our focused work during the autumn of 2020 has given clear results.
Sales during the first 5 months landed at SEK 365 million, corresponding to an organic growth of 11 percent compared with the previous year. Profitability has developed to an industry-leading 13 percent during the same period, and clearly shows the importance of always continuing to develop employees' skills and work with clear client offerings.
Since the turn of the year, we have hired 180 new coworkers and broadened our client base. We have grown and are now just over 800 competent colleagues. We stand strong facing the autumn and will continue to be able to help our clients in their digital transformation.
