                        Matrix Communications Group plc                        

                    ('Matrix' or 'company' or the 'Group')                     

                              Change of Advisors                               

Following what has been a period of rapid and substantial growth in terms of
market capitalisation, commercial revenues, market presence and brand
recognition the Board of Matrix Communications Group plc has deemed it
appropriate to conduct a full review of the Group's advisors and related
facilities. This decision was taken to fulfil a growing need to ensure that the
Group's enlarged stature and potential were appropriately represented, thus
maximising potential shareholder value by positioning the Group in a way that
will allow it to most effectively exploit the new opportunities available to
it.

As such the Board is today delighted to announce it has appointed Investec
Investment Banking and Securities ('Investec') as the Group's Nominated advisor
and Broker with immediate effect.

Chris Godsmark, Corporate Finance Director at Investec Investment Banking,
commented:

"I have been following the rapid progress of Matrix for some time and am
delighted that Investec has been selected to help them as advisor and broker
through the next stage of their growth strategy. This is another important
client win for us in a sector in which we have strong in-depth knowledge and
coverage."

As a further result of this rapid growth the Group will appoint
PricewaterhouseCoopers as company auditors for the year end.

Malcolm Preston, Partner in Charge at PricewaterhouseCoopers Gatwick office
commented:

"We are delighted that Matrix has decided to appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers as
auditor. As an exciting, fast growing technology company Matrix is the sort of
company that will benefit from our full service office at Gatwick. This
appointment typifies our commitment to mid tier companies in the south of
London market."

Finally after a period of consultation the Group has moved its banking
arrangements to HSBC where it has negotiated increased committed facilities on
improved terms and looks forward to a strong working relationship in the
future.

Ian Smith CEO, Matrix Communications Group plc, commented:

"Over a very short period of time we have established ourselves as Europe's
only full services leading-edge technology specialists. In doing so we have
established a strategic foothold that presents the Group with what I believe
are exceptional commercial opportunities for further growth and expansion.
Having reached this point both myself and my fellow Board members felt that it
was of great importance to provide the Group with the appropriate advisors as
we move to take full advantage of our market position. It is with great
pleasure that we announce today's appointments and I now feel that the Group
has the strategic positioning, commercial opportunities and professional
support to realise its growth potential.

This is a very exciting time within our industry and I very much look forward
to reporting on future progress as we continue to outpace the industry and
deliver superior growth and profits."
