("Outsourcery" or the "Company")

Management Update

Outsourcery (AIM: OUT), the UK-based Cloud Service Provider, announces that Emma de Sousa will not be joining the Company as Managing Director on 1 April 2016, as previously planned.

Emma's decision is for family reasons, unrelated to Outsourcery, which would prevent her from commencing her role until 2017 at the earliest. As such, and in order to keep pace with the Company's plans, Outsourcery has re-initiated its search for a leadership role to drive sales and marketing activity, and will look to make an appointment as early as practicable.

Ken Olisa, Chairman of Outsourcery commented:

"While we are naturally disappointed by Emma's decision, we fully understand it. We will not be enforcing the terms of her contract. On behalf of the Board, I wish her a safe pregnancy and success in the pursuit of whatever career decision she now chooses to make."
