Change of name to The Mission Group plc ('MISSION')

The Mission Marketing Group plc announces that it has changed its name to The Mission Group plc.

The Company's shares are expected to trade under the new name and TIDM 'TMG' from 27 September 2019. The Company's current ISIN and SEDOL will remain the same, as will the Company's website address (www.themission.co.uk).
