Staffing 360 Solutions Inc. (NASD: STAF) reported revenue rose to $35.9 million in its fiscal first quarter ended Aug. 31, up 10.2% from $32.6 million in the same quarter of the previous year. Mergers and acquisitions activity and organic growth fueled the increase.

The firm in July acquired engineering staffing firm Lighthouse Placement Services LLC and discussed plans to acquire more firms.
