                                   GARNER PLC 
 
                          JOINT VENTURE WITH RUSSAM GMS 
 
        Norman Broadbent and Russam GMS form Board Interim Management JV 
 
Garner PLC ("Garner" and or the "Company"), a leading provider of executive 
search, and leadership consultancy services via its wholly owned subsidiary 
trading as Norman Broadbent, is pleased to announce a joint venture with Russam 
GMS forming NB: Board Interim. 
 
NB: Board Interim will draw on the expertise of both companies, Norman 
Broadbent's experience with PLC and operating board level appointments and 
Russam GMS's Interim Management skills to create a unique approach in the 
provision of Interim board executives. The joint venture will initially focus on 
capitalising on Norman Broadbent's experience through their Executive Search 
business in the financial services, public sector and healthcare, engineering, 
manufacturing and construction, technology and telecoms, and media sectors. 
 
Terms of the Agreement 
 
Norman Broadbent and Russam GMS will be equal partners in the joint venture 
which will operate through the newly formed company NB: Board Interim Limited. 
Jason Atkinson (Russam GMS) and Sue O'Brien will be joint Managing Directors of 
the entity and Charles Russam (Russam GMS) along with Andrew Garner and Ben 
Felton of Norman Broadbent will comprise the board. 
 
NB: Board Interim will commence trading on 1 July 2010. 
 
Andrew Garner, Chairman of Garner, commented: 
 
"Today's economy is a perfect launch pad for the consulting input of Board 
interims which are capable of having an immediate impact on a company in 
transition.  As boards continue to battle the knock-on effects of this very deep 
recession they frequently require a short-term injection of strategic advice 
from greatly experienced board directors who have helped companies through 
previous times of economic hardship. Russam GMS represents an ideal joint 
venture partner for us in this exciting market space combining our client 
relationships with top level executives over many years with the longest 
established interim provider in the UK. With the necessary infrastructure, we 
will be able to start work immediately to maximise the opportunities in this 
niche market place." 
 
 
Jason Atkinson, Russam GMS's Private Sector Managing Director, who will head up 
the Russam GMS Joint Venture team, said: 
 
"We are delighted to be part of this exciting and unique initiative.  Norman 
Broadbent's fabulous history and its renaissance under Andrew Garner and Sue 
O'Brien is something that we are very proud upon which to build a joint venture. 
 Our team will use every bit of our thirty years experience in the Interim 
Management business to ensure that NB: Board Interim is the provider of choice 
of Norman Broadbent's client base."
