           Board Appointments and Variation to Deferred Consideration



Public Recruitment Group PLC (the "Group" or "PRG"), the public sector
recruitment and services group specialising in the education, healthcare and
social work sectors, announces two Board appointments and a variation of the
deferred consideration payable in relation to its acquisition of Kellis Group
Limited ("Kellis").



Board Appointments



With effect from 11 December 2006, Dean Kelly and Matthew Ellis are to join the
Board of Public Recruitment Group PLC. Dean and Matt are the founders of Kellis
and have been instrumental in positioning the PRG education division as a
leading provider of qualified teachers.



The directors believe that the implementation of The Children Act 2004 will lead
to the local authority education and social work divisions working together more
closely. PRG has responded to this opportunity by bringing its education and
social work divisions under one common management. Dean is appointed to the role
of MD - Education and Social Work and Matt is appointed as Operations Director -
Education and Social Work.



Variation of Kellis Acquisition Consideration



Kellis was acquired in September 2005.  The consideration for the acquisition
included deferred consideration calculated by reference to the annual
incremental profit of the acquired business for each of the three financial
years to 31 October 2008.



In order to maximise the effectiveness of integrating the education and social
work businesses under the control of the Kellis management, the directors
believe that it would be more sensible to calculate the outstanding deferred
consideration by reference to the annual incremental profit of the whole Group,
not just the acquired business, for each of the two financial years to December
2008.  This variation has been agreed with the vendors of Kellis. The directors
believe that the revised method for calculating deferred consideration will be
no more lucrative than the arrangements it replaces.



The deferred consideration for the year to 31 October 2006 was calculated in
accordance with the variation announced on 7 February 2006. The performance of
Kellis for the year will result in the issue of a loan note of #139,000 and the
issue of 4 million ordinary shares in PRG on 29 December 2006.
