FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                    24 April 2003


                              Harrogate Group plc

                       New business at Axiom Software Ltd

The Board of Harrogate Group plc is pleased to announce that its wholly owned
subsidiary, Axiom Software Ltd ("Axiom") has entered into an agreement with
easyJet to provide them with their online recruitment platform using Axiom's
JobQ system which has been developed over the last 18 months.

JobQ is the latest applicant web-based matching, sifting and assessment platform
that incorporates a comprehensive range of assessment tools drawn from
established test publishers.  The system is geared to automatic and objective
screening, assessment, rating and ranking of applicants and facilitates
applicant management and tracking.  This combination of matching skills with
relevant experience is a key point of differentiation and will better enable
employers to evaluate applicants' skills, motivations and fit and thus their
ability to succeed in the job role.

easyJet is Europe's number one low-cost airline. Since its first flight in
November 1995, the airline has grown from a Luton base offering two routes from
Luton to Glasgow and Edinburgh, served by two Boeing 737 aircraft, to one that
offers 89 routes from 36 European airports, operating 64 aircraft (November
2002). Its merger with Go-fly boosted the phenomenal growth of easyJet in August
2002, making the combined company Europe's number one low cost airline.

Commenting on the new agreement, Peter Scott, executive director of Axiom, said:

"We are delighted to welcome easyJet to our growing number of JobQ users and
look forward to a mutually prosperous association."
