qualified and fast growing niche to Vedior's portfolio. Delta fits neatly into
the diverse spectrum of professional/executive and traditional recruitment

and Locum Medical Group healthcare brands. We look forward to assisting Delta
with its national development plans and enabling them to leverage value from
being part of the Group.'
