Notes to Editors

About Creston PLC



Creston's strategy is to build a diversified international marketing services
group through a combination of organic growth and selective acquisitions. The
Board believes that it can identify synergistic benefits between currently
independent marketing services companies offering premium services such as
market research, direct marketing, customer relationship marketing and other
areas of marketing communications. The Board's objective is that each element of
the Group will reflect the continued trend away from mass marketing towards
one-to-one marketing between clients and customers.



Following its repositioning in January 2001 as a marketing services group,
Creston has made three significant acquisitions, each serving what the Directors
consider to be resilient sectors within the industry and which have demonstrated
growth despite difficult market conditions:


•         the acquisition in January 2001 of Marketing Sciences Limited, an
international quantitative and qualitative market research company, based in
Winchester;

•         the acquisition in November 2001 of The Real Adventure Marketing
Communications Limited, a national marketing communications company, based in
Bath; and

•         the acquisition in November 2002 of EMO Group Limited, a national
channel marketing communications company, based in Swindon and Bristol.
