Trading Update

Work Group plc (LSE - AIM: "WORK"), the AIM quoted talent management company, announces that as a result of the recruitment services market being generally challenging, it expects both revenue and profit to be below current market expectations for the financial year ending 31 December 2012. The Group is experiencing a slow final quarter in particular and as a result expects to report a small loss for the year.

In light of the expected results and the challenging economic environment the Board continues to consider all viable strategic opportunities to maximise value for shareholders. The Board has previously received approaches from third parties who were interested in either individual parts of the business or the business as a whole but no agreement was reached with any of these parties.
