                    Glen Group plc ('Glen' or 'the Company')


 Eclectic Group Limited ('Eclectic') announces Microsoft Gold Certified Partner
                                     Status

Glen is pleased to confirm that its wholly owned subsidiary, Eclectic, has
achieved the elite status of Microsoft Gold Certified Partner. Gold Partner
Status is only awarded to partners that have established a track record of
delivering successful Microsoft solutions to their clients. This latest
achievement places Eclectic in the top tier of Microsoft partners and is
evidence of the ability to execute complex projects which deliver measurable
business benefits to customers. Throughout the UK, fewer than 1% of Microsoft
partners have achieved this level of competency within the Business Intelligence
('BI') arena, the niche market in which Eclectic operates.

Its continued commitment to Microsoft enables the Eclectic business to maintain
a position at the leading edge of the technology curve, ensuring that customers
gain the greatest benefit from their software investments. Eclectic projects are
delivered within controlled environments using best practice methodologies and
the consultants involved are all Microsoft Certified Professionals, ensuring
that Eclectic employs the most effective tools and techniques.

As well as Business Intelligence solutions, the Eclectic Microsoft Practice
provides a range of services, including database management, systems
integration, enterprise content & document management and custom developed
solutions.

John Nicoll, Managing Director of Eclectic commented:
'Eclectic has achieved this designation as a result of a significant investment
in our Microsoft practice. This is a strong endorsement of our ability to
deliver high quality BI solutions using the latest tools from Microsoft.
Microsoft's strategic commitment to BI, combined with Eclectic's expertise in
project delivery using tried and tested methodologies allows Eclectic to remain
at the forefront of delivering best value to our customers.'
