successfully floated on AIM last year.



An announcement as to the appointment of a new Chief Executive will be made
shortly.



Martin Lent commented:

'I have enjoyed participating in the rapid growth of the Company and the
development of the ELLE brand in the UK and Europe.  I wish the Company well
and am looking forward to pursuing other business interests.'



David Brock (Chairman) commented:

'I would like to thank Martin for his contribution to the expansion of the
business and wish him all the best for the future.'



The Board confirms that current trading is in line with market expectations.
