            Acquisition of Scandinavian Exhibition Group AB ('SEG')

                                   Highlights:

o                    Third largest expo company in Sweden;

o                    SEG turnover for the year ended 30 June 2006 of £3.5
                     million;

                     Scandinavia;

o                    Consideration payable of £1.18 million;

o                    Substantial synergy & cost benefits expected.

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 Scandinavian Exhibition
Group AB (SEG), a privately owned and profitable exhibition company with offices
and operations across Scandinavia. Completion is scheduled for 15 December 2006.

SEG, which generally trades under the name Sandberg Expo, had annual turnover of
£3.5 million in the year ended 30 June 2006, a gross profit margin of 54 per
cent. SEG has offices in Stockholm, Gavle and Gothenburg in Sweden.

This acquisition follows Delling's earlier acquisition on 22 August 2006 of
Eckerud Scandinavia AB, the largest exhibition company in Sweden. Together with
Delling's exhibition business in Norway, the SEG acquisition will position
Delling as by far the largest provider of exhibition services in Scandinavia.
The Board of Delling sees considerable synergy and cost benefit opportunities
from the integration of Eckerud and SEG's operations, such as reducing duplicate
production facilities and logistical systems and leveraging off the benefits of
increased purchasing power.

The consideration payable is approximately £1.18 million, which is equivalent to
approximately 5 times SEG's expected pre-tax profit for its present financial
year. The consideration will consist of £0.44 million in cash and £0.37 million
in shares at the average price over the last 5 trading days prior to the
completion day and a guaranteed deferred payment of £0.37 million in cash as of
1 July 2007.

As previously announced, Delling continues to explore a number of other possible
acquisitions in the other core areas of marketing services included in Delling's
integrated marketing support services concept. This may or may not lead to more
acquisitions in the coming months.

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

'This acquisition of SEG demonstrates that we continue to be on track with our
plan to build an integrated marketing support service company with more than
£100 million in sales within the next few years. With this acquisition and in
addition to our strong organic growth, our planned milestone of entering 2007
Company with an annualized turnover of £20-25 million, is within reach. This
will also strongly support our work in getting a substantially increased profit
margin.

Though still focusing on maintaining strong growth, both organically and through
acquisitions, we are now placing increased emphasis on improving our profit
margins so that Delling would derive the maximum benefit for the whole of 2007.'
