Press Release Body = Selection Services today announces that it has acquired Hotspot
Solutions, a specialist provider of complete wireless access installations to public
venues, commercial and educational premises and to private homes. The acquisition
sees Selection expand its already comprehensive portfolio of IT services to include
the wireless environment, with a proven and reputable service, technology and team.

The addition of the Hotspot team and its expertise allows Selection to offer
tailored, full service wireless internet connections to customers and businesses,
including initial equipment specification, installation, configuration and testing,
and ongoing maintenance. This enables companies to offer employees, guests or
clients free Wi-Fi airtime supported by a proven authentication technique which
guarantees secure communications over the wireless connection.

The Hotspot service complements Selection's existing range of IT services, which
include 24/7 helpdesk facility, remote monitoring, deskside support, project
management, fault evaluation, diagnostics and software support, and disaster
recovery.

"Businesses, in the leisure industry and beyond, now recognise the benefits that
wireless hotspots can deliver in terms of productivity, increasing footfall and
occupancy, maximising service levels and improving brand loyalty," commented Alan
Cantwell, CEO of Selection Services. "By joining forces with Hotspot we can help
businesses meet these objectives while delivering on our commitment to continually
evolve our business in line with market place demands, and strive to provide our
clients with as comprehensive a service as possible."

The Hotspot service will run as an autonomous business division within Selection and
will be headed up by Hotspot managing director of five years, Jamie Hind. The
majority of Hotspot's existing customers are in the sports and leisure industry,
including many notable hotels, hotel chains, and cricket and golf clubs, such as
Holiday Inn, Best Western, Blenheim Palace, The Lanesborough and Carnoustie Hotel
and Golf Club. Selection plans to capitalise on the success in this market, while
broadening the scope of the offering to other vertical sectors.

Hotspot's existing customers will experience significant benefits as a result of the
acquisition; specifically by having access to the 24/7 nation-wide support
infrastructure delivered by Selection's 300 technical and service professionals.

and depth of services we could deliver our customers. As part of the Selection
Services organisation we will have the business and technology support to deliver on
our vision and extend our services to a wider audience, while adding valuable
expertise to the Selection portfolio."
