Tribal Group has won these two high profile contracts.  The contract in Swindon
is a new model for LEA Strategic Partnership and will, we expect, lead to
significant improvement in the standards of education in the borough, and as a
reference site will help the Group to secure other similar contracts. The
learndirect contract is further demonstration of our strong partnership with UfI
and our ability to deliver a complex e-learning product for the mass market.'
