   MILESTONE GROUP PLC 
 
   ("Milestone" or the "Company") 
 
   Milestone's Mobile Business Solutions used to partner the Green Skills 
Partnership 
 
   Milestone, the AIM quoted (AIM: MSG) provider of digital media and 
technology solutions is pleased to announce the Green Skills Partnership 
(GSP) is including both the Passion Project and Milestone's mobile 
business solutions in its new initiative to get construction workers 
into jobs. 
 
   In January 2015, the GSP, with Carshalton College leading, won a bid for 
more than GBP300,000 to support the reengagement of unemployed 
construction workers. The project aims to drive growth within the 
Construction sector, supporting companies to grow and take on local, 
suitably qualified labour. This will deliver social and economic benefit 
to London. This programme is part of the Construction Industry Training 
Board (CITB) project for construction and is a key project within the 
Greater London Joint Initiative Programme, funded by the CITB and London 
Enterprise Panel. 
 
   As part of the bid, GSP presented Milestone's mobile business solutions 
as the method of ensuring both the individual construction workers and 
the construction sites are compliant. Milestone will be using our 
experience and technology in designing a bespoke mobile application that 
can be used to collate the relevant data and share it in real-time to 
ensure the efficiency and compliance of this project. The development of 
this app follows the Company's recent work on the OnGuard product, which 
is specifically designed for the security industry. 
 
   The use of the app within the GSP is expected to receive widespread 
corporate exposure, not only helping the construction workers in this 
project, but also opening up the potential for the Passion Project along 
with the Company's other products and services to be included in future 
bids and revenue streams. 
 
   The membership of the GSP partnership is wide and varied with over 40 
current partners from the public and private sectors including employers, 
Unions, training providers, local authorities and third sector 
organisations (Housing Associations). 
 
   As a member of the GSP, Milestone and the Passion Project will benefit 
from access to valuable funding opportunities and introductions, along 
with revenue streams related to job vacancies, work placements and 
learning opportunities.
