The Company announces today that it has successfully raised £950,000 before

each ('Placing Shares'). The Placing Shares have been placed with institutional
investors by the Company's broker, Bridgewell Securities Limited.

a number of development opportunities in overseas staffing markets currently
being considered by the Company.

Application for the admission to AIM of the Placing Shares has today been made
and dealings are expected to commence on 12 May 2006. The Placing Shares will,
on admission, rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares.

support from investors, and believe that the funds raised will position the
Company to effectively undertake the next stage of its business strategy.'
