DELLING GROUP PLC
The AIM-listed marketing services group
Re: Directorate
Delling Group PLC ('Delling' or 'the Company'), the AIM-listed marketing support
services group, announces that Michael Steven Hudgell has today resigned his
directorship of the Company as a result of a change in strategic direction.
Michael was appointed to build a replica of Delling Group in the UK based on
acquisitions, following the success in Delling's Scandinavian markets.
Following a strategic review of the Group in terms of its short to medium term
direction the Board of Delling has decided to change the focus of its expansion
strategy. In line with the announcement of 13 December 2005, the Group currently
has a range of exciting opportunities and prospects in Eastern Europe and
Scandinavia that it wants to pursue. The Board feels that the UK economy is
entering an uncertain phase and, its ability to identify potential UK
acquisition targets which might successfully see out any trading downturn,
without requiring financial support from the Group, is challenging.
Delling therefore intends to adopt a less aggressive entry into the UK market.
The company will expand on the back of its Scandinavian customer base and may
seek one or two acquisitions that will create immediate synergies with the
Group's existing customer base in Scandinavia.
The Board would like to thank Michael for his efforts and contribution to
Delling Group.
ENDS
