Edinburgh based Glen Group plc, the AIM listed IT and communications integration
business, announces the appointment of Craig Saunderson as Head of Sales to its
operating company, Glen Communications Ltd.

direct sales team, is experienced in winning and managing IT and communication
contracts and will drive Glen's sales programme as it continues to expand south

'Craig brings a great deal of experience to the Group, having previously secured
business from the SME market and from a number of major UK companies including
Network Rail, British Aerospace, Diageo, Co-operative Financial and Pinsent
Masons. This experience will be invaluable as we continue to expand our sales
operation and I'm very much looking forward to working with him to accelerate
the growth of Glen.'
