Trading Update

Staffline Recruitment Group plc 02 July 2007 For immediate release 2 July 2007 STAFFLINE RECRUITMENT GROUP PLC ('Staffline' or 'the Group') Half Year Trading Update Notice of Results Staffline Recruitment Group plc, a leading provider of recruitment and outsourced HR services to industry, today issues a trading update for the six months ended 30 June 2007, ahead of its interim results for the period which it expects to announce on 3 September 2007. Growth has continued in line with plan and accordingly the Board anticipates that the Group's sales and profits for the half year will be in line with its expectations. During the half year the Group's OnSite division, which manages the temporary recruitment function of its clients and represents over 70% of Group turnover, has successfully won OnSites with both new and existing clients. This has resulted in a net increase of 8 locations to a total of 75 as at 30 June 2007. The new OnSites added during the period are performing in line with or ahead of management's expectations. Our industrial branch division has continued to perform well across the entire network, whilst it also continues to incubate new OnSites. Integration of our recent acquisition, On Site Partnership ('OSP'), is progressing ahead of initial expectations, with a number of existing OSP sites having been rationalised into Staffline OnSites. This has resulted in a net addition of 12 further locations, giving Staffline a total number of 87 OnSites as at 30 June 2007. Commenting, Andy Hogarth, Staffline's Managing Director, said: 'During the first half Staffline has again delivered growth in line with expectations. Integration of the recent acquisition of On Site Partnership, announced on 19 March, is proceeding ahead of target and we also have an excellent pipeline of business confirmed for the current quarter. We therefore remain very confident in the outlook for the current financial year.' - Ends - For further information, please contact: www.staffline.co.uk --------------------- Staffline Recruitment Group plc 0115 950 0885 Andy Hogarth, Managing Director 07931 175775 Carole Harvey, Finance Director 07904 262132 Oriel Securities Limited Natalie Fortescue 020 7710 7615 Smithfield Miranda Good / Reg Hoare 020 7360 4900 About Staffline Staffline Recruitment Group plc's main business is as a specialist supplier of 'blue collar' temporary and contract staff to industry.
