DIRECTORATE CHANGE

 

The MISSION Group plc (AIM: TMG), the Brand Performance Group, comprising of
digital marketing and specialist communications Agencies, has today announced
the sale of April Six Limited and its subsidiary April Six Inc (together
referred to as "April Six") to Marketbridge, Inc.

 

Fiona Shepherd, founder and CEO of April Six, will remain with April Six and
has resigned from The MISSION Group plc Board with immediate effect following
14 years' service as a Board member.

 

Fiona has worked in the technology industry for over 20 years, holding both
Client and Agency positions, with some of the world's largest technology
brands.  Fiona was a founder of April Six and has been instrumental in
expanding the Agency from its UK origins to its current position as a
well-respected global technology, science and mobility Agency with offices
across the globe.   Fiona joined The MISSION Group Board in April 2010.

 

David Morgan, MISSION's Non-Executive Chair, commented:

 

"A special thank you must go to Fiona Shepherd who founded April Six in the UK
over twenty-five years ago and shortly after Fiona joined the MISSION Board
she opened offices in the USA to build April Six into the Agency that it is
today.

 

Fiona's drive, commitment and understanding of the technology market is
outstanding, she will be an enormous asset to the new Group and we wish her
every success in the future.

 

Thank you, Fiona."
