Matchtech, one of the UK's leading technical recruitment companies, will 
announce its Interim Results for the six months ending 31 January 2008 on Monday 
17 March 2007. Ahead of this, the Company today announces a Pre Close Trading 
Update. 
 
In the six months ending 31 January 2008 the Group has seen good growth in Net 
Fee Income ("NFI") across all three operating sectors, Engineering, Built 
Environment and Support Services. With the investment in our graduate 
recruitment campaign, which added an additional 30 consultants at the start of 
the financial year, operating performance in the first half of the financial 
year has been in line with the Board's expectations. 
 
George Materna, Chairman of Matchtech, commented: "I am pleased to report that 
we have made a good start to the year and that we are currently seeing 
encouraging demand across a broad range of clients for the limited pool of 
skilled resource that is available."
