The Board anticipates that the Group's sales and profits for the full year will be in line with its expectations and significantly ahead of last year, driven primarily by the Group's OnSite and industrial branch divisions.

The new OnSites added during the year are performing in line with, or ahead of, management's expectations. Our industrial branch division has performed strongly and we hope to announce two further branch openings shortly together with additional new OnSite locations. Commenting, Andy Hogarth, Staffline's Managing Director, said: 'Staffline has delivered substantial growth compared to 2005, in line with expectations, and has a good pipeline of OnSite opportunities. We therefore remain confident of making continued progress in the current year and thereafter.' - Ends - For further information, please contact: www.staffline.co.uk ------------------- Staffline Recruitment Group plc 0115 950 0885 Andy Hogarth, Managing Director 07931 175775 Carole Harvey, Finance Director 07904 262132 Smithfield 020 7360 4900 Miranda Good / Reg Hoare 07920 087968 About Staffline Staffline Recruitment Group plc's main business is as a specialist supplier of 'blue collar' temporary and contract staff to industry.
