CHIME COMMUNICATIONS PLC

INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT
    
Chime Communications plc, a leading marketing services group, is today publishing its Interim Management Statement relating to the period 1st July 2009 to 17th November 2009 (as required by the UK Listing Authority's Disclosure and Transparency rules).

Lord Bell, Chairman of Chime Communications, said:

"Our first half results for 2009 were ahead of expectations and we delivered the best pretax profit in our history. We have continued to trade strongly in the second half of 2009 and we expect full year revenue to be ahead of 2008.    

We have completed the acquisition of Essentially into our sports marketing group and announced but not yet completed the merger of Pelham and our Bell Pottinger financial public relations company.  

We appear to have outperformed our competitors in the sector both small and large. We have controlled our cost base well and look forward to further growth in 2010 as the market recovers."
