Epic wins top Stock Market award

PRESS RELEASE
Issued: January 25, 2001

Epic has won the Best AIM* Company Award. Epic's CEO, Donald Clark picked up the award in a glittering ceremony at the Grosvenor Hotel in London's West End.

Epic is a profitable e-learning company and has consistently delivered growing revenue and profits to the market. It was one of the top performing shares on the stock market last year, seemingly immune from the turbulence in the market. Their shareholder list now reads like a 'who's who' of city institutions.

Epic's business is the use of web technology to define, design and deliver e-learning to large organisations. It was the first UK company to enter this market, has over 200 staff, a strong client base and strong, profitable growth.

"Chief Executive Donald Clark presides over a company with a strong order book, no debt, a sizeable war chest and a dominant market position. Epic should continue to be a stock to watch in the future" said Shares magazine, sponsors of the awards.

"Awards mean a lot to staff who have put their hearts and souls into sustaining our growth last year. We have extraordinarily high levels of repeat business, showing that what we deliver is effective" commented Donald.

This is the third award in three months for Epic. Company of the Year in November, Best E-learning Award in December and Best AIM Company in January.
