Notes to editors

SThree, founded in 1986, is one of the leading ICT staffing businesses in the UK
based on turnover. SThree provides both permanent and contract specialist
staffing services in the UK and Europe, primarily in the ICT sector and, to an
increasing extent in the UK, the banking and finance, accountancy, human
resources and engineering sectors. SThree currently operates under 12 brands,
the 3 largest by turnover being Computer Futures, Progressive and Huxley, and
has 30 offices in the UK and 8 offices in Europe, in Belgium, The Netherlands,
France, Germany and Ireland.

SThree has a selective approach to clients and focuses on high margin
opportunities, predominantly within the small to medium-sized enterprises
('SME') market, which SThree defines as including autonomous divisions of large
corporates. SThree does not pursue a high volume/low margin model. SThree has a
diverse, international client list of over 4,000 clients, comprising primarily
SMEs.

Following the establishment of its first brand, Computer Futures, in 1986,
SThree adopted a multi-brand strategy, establishing new operations to address
growth opportunities. These new brands have typically been created out of one of
SThree's existing businesses and are an important means of retaining high
performing key employees who are often given the opportunity to acquire a
minority equity stake in the new business.
