                                 VELOSI LIMITED
                          (the 'Company' or 'Velosi')

        Placing of 3,842,000 new Ordinary Shares at 115 pence per share

The Board of Velosi are pleased to announce that Charles Stanley Securities has,
on behalf of the Company, completed a placing (the 'Placing') of 3,842,000 new
Ordinary Shares of US$0.02 each (the 'Placing Shares') at a price of 115 pence
per new Ordinary Share with institutional investors to raise approximately £4.42
million.

Charles Stanley Securities, as agent for the Company, has conditionally agreed
to use its reasonable endeavours to  procure subscribers for the Placing Shares.
The Placing Shares will represent 8.8 per cent. of the enlarged issued  share
capital of the Company.  The Placing Price of 115 pence per share represents a
1.3 per cent. discount to the  middle market closing price of 116.5 pence per
Ordinary Share on 19 March 2008.

As announced on 29 February 2008, during 2007 Velosi established new offices in
Angola, Ghana and Russia and for the  first time began acting as full service
supplier in Egypt. In addition to a number of smaller contract wins, 
significant contracts were won with Chevron, ExxonMobil, Shell EP Europe,
Confapi (the trade association for small and  medium-sized businesses in the
industrial sector in Italy) and BP.  Since the year end, the new Angolan office
has  secured a new contract with Chevron. Under the terms of the contract,
Velosi will provide Construction Management and  Inspection Services personnel
to Chevron's oil and gas production operations in Cabinda, Angola.  The proceeds
of the  Placing will be used to augment the Company's existing working capital
facilities and for the development of the  Group's business.  In particular the
new funds will be used to satisfy the working capital requirements of the new 
contracts secured by the Company and for expansion into new geographical
territories.

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the Placing Shares to
be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that Admission will become
effective and that trading will commence on 27 March 2008. Following the
admission of the Placing Shares to trading on AIM, the Company will have
43,472,614 Ordinary Shares in issue. The Placing Shares will, when issued and
fully paid, rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing Ordinary
Shares, including the right to receive any dividend or other distribution
thereafter declared. The Directors have utilised the Company's authority to
issue the new ordinary shares granted at the Annual General Meeting of the
Company held on 7 June 2007.


Commenting on the Placing Nabil Jalil, the Company's Chief Executive, said:

'Velosi continues to expand, both through its service offerings and its
geographic spread in buoyant market conditions. We are continuously winning
larger contracts around the world and, with this additional funding, we are in a
strong position to continue to service those contracts to the highest standard
whilst continuing the Group's growth and expansion.

As a result of the high number of significant contracts won in 2007, recent new
contract wins, and with synergies and returns from recent acquisitions coming
through, the Board remains very positive on the Group's trading outlook for 2008
and beyond.'
