for two further fund raisings, as well as the completion and integration of a
number of acquisitions both in the UK and overseas, together with the

Aspen Group Limited (a marketing services group), during the sale of its main
subsidiary to a US venture capitalist.



He is currently a non-executive director of Crescent Productions Limited and
Oval (1786) Limited.  In connection with the appointment, the Company also
announces that:



1.         save as disclosed above, Mr Humphrey holds no directorships in any
other publicly quoted companies and has not done so in the last 5 years; and



2.         there are no details to be disclosed under paragraph 6.F.2(b) to (g)
of the UKLA Listing Rules.



John Hawkins, Chief Executive of Anite Group plc, commenting on the appointment,
stated:



'We are delighted that Christopher Humphrey is joining us as Finance Director.
He is highly regarded and has a strong PLC track record. His experience of

qualified to lead our finance function and to continue our focus on managing our
assets and good housekeeping.'
