PORTA APPOINTS NEW FINANCE DIRECTOR

Porta, the AIM quoted international communications and marketing group, is pleased to announce the appointment of Eugene (Gene) Golembiewski as Finance Director.

Commenting on the appointment, Porta's Chief Executive, David Wright, said: "Gene brings with him a wealth of experience in the media and marketing sector having spent 15 years as CFO and COO of Gavin Anderson, (the last three years as Kreab Gavin Anderson) and prior to that he was the International Finance Director at Ketchum for 10 years.

This experience will prove invaluable as the group continues its rapid global expansion. In tables produced by the Holmes Report this week, Newgate, Porta's public relations brand is shown as the fastest growing agency globally by a wide margin from the second agency." 

Keith Springall, previously the Finance Director of Porta, has resigned to seek new challenges. The Board would like to thank Keith for his significant contribution over the last two years and wish him well.

Save as disclosed below, there are no further disclosures to be made under Schedule Two, paragraph (g) of the AIM Rules.
