Touch Group plc (AIM: TOU), today announces two senior management appointments,
to drive revenues through the online and print business divisions.

Ex-Head of marketing for Yahoo!, Search UK & Ireland, Karl Gregory, joins Touch
Group as Marketing Director to drive marketing for the publishing and online
divisions, the latter consisting of two revenue generators, Touch Local
(www.touchlocal.com) and online marketing services. Karl brings a wealth of
Internet search, on and offline marketing experience to the role, having worked
in a variety of senior management positions in the sector for over nine years.
At Yahoo!, Karl played a key role in the management team, where he was tasked
with the growth and development of Yahoo!'s Search division. Prior to Yahoo!,
Gregory was International marketing director at AltaVista for four years, where
he refocused the company, brand and product to profitability.

Dr Theresa Saklatvala has been appointed the Publishing Director of Touch
Briefings. She brings more than 25 years' experience in biomedical research,
publishing, both business-to-business and scientific, technical and medical and
business management. She most recently worked in senior managerial roles at
Informa plc and Reed Elsevier. Theresa holds a PhD in biochemistry from the
University of Cambridge.

Theresa will be responsible for driving the Touch Briefing division, which
provides independent market intelligence and analysis, offering a comprehensive
range of trend-setting market-specific publications. Drawing on her expertise
within the medical and pharmaceutical industries, Theresa will expand the
portfolio into new vertical markets. This will be achieved through forging
strong relationships with learned societies, associations and key opinion
leaders in specialist areas. The current portfolio includes print briefings
covering healthcare, pharmaceuticals, energy sectors and up to 30 vertical
markets available online, such as www.touchcardiology.com. This established
division deals with blue-chip clients, of which currently 127 are in the Fortune
500 list.

Tamer Ozmen, chief executive officer, Touch Group Plc added; "Touch is
attracting talent with considerable business experience. Our commitment, ability
and success at bringing in the industry best is clear, with Karl's and Theresa's
appointments following closely the recent addition of Emre Berkin, ex-Vice
President for Microsoft EMEA to our Board. Each new member of the management
team forms an essential part of our strategy to re-define local business search,
and set trends in the markets with our market briefings".
