In May this year we received the funds from the Placing and
Open  Offer  which provided Quadrant with the resources  to
continue  its recovery programme and this impetus has  been
maintained   with  the  disposal  of  our  loss-making   UK
engineering business announced today.

Peter will bring his skills and experience to realising the
potential of our existing businesses and to investigating a
number  of opportunities which have been presented  to  us.
We are looking forward to his working with us."
