Trading Update

At the Annual General Meeting ('AGM') of Nakama Group PLC, to be held today at 11.00am, Ken Ford, Non-Executive Chairman, will make the following statement:

Since the announcement of our final results for the year ended 31 March 2014, which were issued on 30 July 2014, the trading performance of the Group has moved ahead strongly and we have seen an encouraging increase in demand for our contract and permanent services, both in the UK and internationally.

As a result, Nakama has increased its headcount in all its offices so as to take advantage of this increase and to better improve service and delivery. Revenue and NFI (Net fee income) have increased year on year and the Board expect the company to meet internal budgets for the year.

NOTES TO EDITORS

About Nakama Group plc

Nakama Group plc, is the AIM quoted recruitment consultancy and leading niche provider of technology, business and professional services to the insurance and financial services sectors and recruitment for the digital technology and interactive media industry.

Following the acquisition of Nakama Limited by Nakama Group plc (formerly Highams Systems Services plc) in October 2011, the Group now has an international platform, operating from offices in London, Melbourne, Sydney, Hong Kong and most recently, in Singapore, with a specialism in recruitment for the digital technology and interactive media industry.

The company places emphasis on providing excellent levels of service and industry knowledge to deliver single or multiple solutions for its clients. The directors of Nakama believe that whilst companies may continually try to reduce their supplier base, they demand wider fulfilment and services from their recruitment partners.

In response to this, Nakama supplies staff through the whole chain of technology lifecycle, where other IT or technology recruiters might supply only one part of the chain. Nakama was formed to take advantage of an opportunity to provide services across the spectrum of the digital technology and interactive media industry on an international level.
