TeleMessage Recognised at Deloitte Israel Technology Fast 50 Awards

Messaging International Plc, the AIM traded company and provider of converged messaging products and services, is pleased to announce that its 100% owned subsidiary, TeleMessage Ltd ('TeleMessage'), has been ranked 13th of the 50 fastest growing technology companies at the Deloitte Israel Technology Fast 50 Awards 2009 ('Fast 50 Awards'). This is the third consecutive year that TeleMessage has been recognised for its commitment to innovation and technology by the highly esteemed programme which has become a benchmark of success for technology companies.

The Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Award programme is an objective ranking of Israel's fastest growing technology companies, which recognises their contribution and ongoing commitment to the industry. To establish the ranking, Deloitte reviewed fiscal year revenues over five years (2004-2008), calculated the revenue growth percentage over the period and compared the growth of technology companies.

Messaging International CEO Guy Levit said, "To be included in Deloitte's programme for a third year is a significant achievement for TeleMessage as we continue to demonstrate our ability to maintain our growth in a highly competitive market. To receive recognition for our contribution to the technological sector acts as testament to the success of our messaging services and products which have been well received by major international mobile operators over the last 12 months."

Tal Chen, director in charge of the Deloitte Brightman Almagor Zohar Technology Fast 50 Programme, said, "Being one of the 50 fastest growing technology companies in Israel is an impressive accomplishment. We commend TeleMessage for making the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 with a phenomenal 693% growth rate over five years".
