Michael Page International PLC 07 October 2002 7 October 2002 Third Quarter Trading Update Michael Page International plc ("MPI"), the professional recruitment consultancy, announces third quarter revenue (gross profit) of £47.8m (Q2 2002: £51.4m). Commenting, Terry Benson, Chief Executive of Michael Page, said: "Our third quarter revenue figure reflects a good performance against a background of weak business confidence and challenging market conditions. We have seen a slower than usual increase in business activity in the UK and Continental Europe following the summer break, but with continued tight control over costs, we remain in line to achieve our profit targets for the year, assuming no further material deterioration in market conditions."
