Interim Management Statement

Record net new business in first quarter of 2008

In the first quarter of 2008, the Group continued to trade very satisfactorily with results well ahead of comparable 2007 record levels.

Net new business in the first quarter has been particularly encouraging backed by a very strong new business pipeline. Some 80% of the Group's 2008 forecast revenue is already committed. The Group continues successfully to manage its margins both at operating company level and after central costs.

New corporate & social responsibility mandates won in the first quarter include supporting the UK Environment Agency in its national Flood Awareness Campaign, Global Renewables in relation to its waste recycling services, Smokefree North West (UK) to promote a tobacco free future for children and Coca-Cola Great Britain to raise awareness of the positive reasons to recycle.

Our financial public relations companies are building strong new business in selected growth areas, particularly emerging markets, and in specialist work such as litigation support. There has been a significant upturn in our corporate and public affairs divisions which now sit alongside our financial public relations b
