Acquisition

Delling Group PLC
31 August 2006



For Release                         7:00 am                      31 August 2006



                           DELLING GROUP PLC (DLG.L)

                The AIM-listed marketing support services group


                     Acquisition of print company in Sweden

                Establishment of an office in Stavanger, Norway


Delling Group PLC ('Delling' or the 'Company'), the only listed marketing
support services group on AIM whose principal assets are in Scandinavia,
announces that it has exchanged contracts to acquire Printcenter i Linkoping AB
('Printcenter'), a privately owned Swedish large format print company, with
completion scheduled for 30 September 2006.


The consideration payable is approximately £0.37 million in cash, equivalent to
approximately 5 times Printcenter's expected pre-tax profit for the year ended
31 August 2006. Annual turnover was approximately £1 million, representing
growth of 30% on the previous period. It is hoped that sales growth which was
expected to be maintained at this level during 2007 should now outperform
following integration of Printcenter with the Delling Group. The payment of the
consideration will be funded through the financing package announced on 22
August 2006.


Printcenter is a highly specialised producer of large format printed products
with customers such as Securitas, Saab and Swedish retailer JC Brothers. The
similar activities of Delling's existing Norwegian and Swedish businesses will
be moved to Printcenter's offices in Linkoping, Sweden's fourth largest city,
with the aim of developing Printcenter into a leading Scandinavian producer of
such products.


The Board of Delling expects the acquisition of Printcenter to be earnings
enhancing with sales anticipated to increase following cross selling of
Delling's broader offering to Printcenter's customers. The owner of Printcenter,
who will be staying on after the acquisition, has over 35 years experience in
the printing industry having restructured production processes at a number of
companies. His expertise, coupled with scale efficiencies generated from
concentrating Delling's large format print work in one location should increase
margins.


Further, Delling is in the process of establishing an office in Stavanger,
Norway. An experienced manager with strong customer relationships has been hired
to develop the business. Stavanger is the hub of one of Europe's leading
offshore oil and gas clusters. Delling will offer its full marketing support
services to companies in this Western Coast area, which is currently
experiencing strong economic growth driven by offshore activities in the North
Sea. The office is expected to be profitable from its first month of operation.


Commenting, on the acquisition, Aksel Bratvedt, Executive Chairman of Delling
Group, said:


'I am pleased to conclude another acquisition. On the back of our substantial
pipeline of profitable targets, we intend to maintain the current rate of
acquisitions over the coming months. Printcenter increases Delling's expertise
within a specialised area of printing, and will allow the Group to reduce costs
through a rationalisation to one location.


This acquisition together with our strong organic growth moves Delling closer to
our stated aim of being the largest marketing support services company in
Scandinavia.'
