Sudden death of Chairman

 

It is with great sadness that, RTC Group Plc (AIM: RTC.L), the engineering and
technical recruitment Group, announces that its founder and chairman, Bill
Douie, has died suddenly.

 

Further announcements will be made as required.

 

Andy Pendlebury, chief executive, said:

 

"It is with a very heavy heart that I am announcing the sudden death of Bill
Douie, chairman of RTC Group Plc

 

Bill joined with Clive Chapman in 1992 to purchase an ailing ATA Selection
business which subsequently became the RTC Group of today and Bill remained
executive chairman until his sudden death.

 

Bill and I worked together on the Board of RTC Group for the last 16 years.
Bill was a highly intellectual man with a passion for business and an immense
knowledge of both global and domestic affairs.

 

His insights, support, and guidance have been invaluable to me as chief
executive. His sense of humour and warmth as an individual have proved
invaluable to me on a personal level.

 

Bill has been a pleasure to work with he will be sorely missed."

 

ENDS
