               Focus Solutions Group plc ("Focus" or "the Group")

                Focus announces major contract with Barclays Bank

Focus, a leading provider of customer management solutions to the retail
financial services market, has today announced a contract with major banking
organisation, Barclays Bank PLC ("Barclays").

The contract, worth £2m over 5 years, is for the development of an electronic
Point of Sale (POS) solution to support the sale of regulated life and pensions
products for Barclays corporate and personal customers. The new POS solution
will be integrated with industry portal, Assureweb.

This contract takes Focus into another new vertical market, the growing
bancassurance sector. Banks are taking a larger percentage of sales of life and
pensions products following the start of Depolarisation in December 2004. This
has created the opportunity for new distribution channels, with the ability to
sell life and pensions products from a selected panel of insurers. Focus has
already extended its reach into the general insurance market, with the recent
signing of a contract with Assurant Solutions.

John Streets, CEO, Focus Solutions Group plc added:

"This contract creates sustainable revenues for Focus and we look forward to
building a long-term relationship with Barclays. This is our first major
contract with a large retail bank and extends our solutions into a new
marketplace. As the benefits of Depolarisation unfold, we expect increasing
demand for our technology and Multi Channel Advice (MCA) sales solutions."
