       Directorate Change and Reorganisation of Central Management Costs


London, 18 May 2005, Canisp, the fixed line telephony services group, announces
that Justin Bygott-Webb has resigned from the Board of the Company and retains a
consultancy role, primarily with a view to identifying certain potential future
acquisitions.

In January the Company announced the sale of its contracts and customer base
assets relating to pre-paid and post-paid calling cards and since then, in line
with its stated strategy, it has streamlined the central management overhead of
the business, focusing on the provision of fixed line telephony services
predominantly to the SME market, including wholesale line rental.

Commenting on the changes, Mike Hirschfield, Executive Director, said:

'We have achieved cost savings through the reorganisation of our management team
following the sale of a sub-set of our customer base.  I am pleased that Justin
is able to retain a consultancy role, particularly as we continue to look for
further acquisitions to complement our drive for organic growth.'
