I am delighted to havejoined the Board ofChandler MacleodLimited in February ofthis year and to havebeen appointed asyour Chairman in April.

2008 has been a challengingyear for Chandler Macleod, acompany in transition. We havemade some significant strategicacquisitions whilst taking on thedifficult tasks of restructuringour operations and rebrandingour services. We are nowfocused on bedding downthose acquisitions to enable us to better service our clients.

StrategyWe’ve made strategic moves to position the ChandlerMacleod Group for long term, sustainable growth. A new company structure has been implemented whichuses a portfolio approach tomanaging our businesses andgives our divisional heads boththe responsibility andaccountability to driveshareholder returns in theirareas. We believe this willattract the best and brightestpeople to Chandler Macleodwhich will benefit our clients,candidates and shareholders.

We appointed Ian Basser asour Managing Director andChief Executive Officer in Julyto oversee this significantevolution in our strategy, andwe are delighted that he hasaccepted the challenge. Ianhas over 20 years’ experiencein starting, running and buildingservice companies around theworld, including Australia, HongKong, China, Singapore, UKand Europe. We are extremelyfortunate to have such a well qualified and experiencedindividual, capable of leadingthe Chandler Macleod Groupinto the future.

Managing Director’s ReportIn July I became ManagingDirector and Chief ExecutiveOfficer of the Chandler MacleodGroup. Over the past couple of months I have been focusedon working with the senior team and others across theorganisation to understand their ideas, listen to theirthoughts and, with them,develop clarity for ourbusiness. We have spent some time looking externally to understand the market, ourclients’ changing needs andhow we will need to meet those in the future to ensure the growth and sustainability of CMG.

2008 saw CMG cement itselfas a leader in helping clientsmanage workforce risk,establishing itself as one of the few full service HR outsourcing firms inAustralia and New Zealand.Winning the Defence ForceRecruiting contract, one of thelargest RPO’s (RecruitmentProcess Outsourcing) in theregion, reinforces this positionand sets CMG up to continue to develop new outsourcingopportunities. 40% of ourrevenue came from our top 20 clients all of which werepreferred supplier agreements,RPO or managed workforcecontracts.

We helped reduce our clients’workforce risk throughapplying our expertise in IR, OH&S, rostering, payroll, talent sourcing, training anddevelopment. While managingworkforces is an operationalimperative for our clients, it isoften not their core business.Our consulting businesseshelp our clients to findinnovative ways to engage,retain, assess and developtheir people. The candidateswe help find careers for arebecoming more sophisticatedin their career choices and aremore discerning about theenvironments in which theywork – which is why we haveimplemented a strategy ofspecialist brands for specialistcandidates across ourrecruitment businesses.

ResultsThe results for the yearreflected the challengingperiod for CMG as werestructured our operations,bedded down acquisitions and sought to positionourselves for future growth.

The Group produced solidrevenue growth of 9.2% for the year, driven by both organic and acquisitionrevenue contributions. Wewere very pleased that theGroup has continued toperform well across ourtraditional core business areas.

The net profit after tax of $2.7 million was disappointingin view of the revenue growthachieved, but reflects theinvestments we have made to restructure the Group. Wehave put strategies in place to reduce costs and investedin building higher marginpermanent recruitmentbusinesses and theCMyPeople offering. Theleadership team now fullyrepresents the business andwe have one of the mostexperienced managementgroups in our sector. Coupled

with this we are implementing a client development andmanagement strategy that will allow the Group to delivera broader range of services to our client base.

In line with the disappointingprofit result, the Boardconsidered it prudent toreduce the final dividend forthe year. To this end, a 0.5 cent per share fully frankeddividend was declared on 29 August 2008.

Looking Ahead to 2009The 09 financial year is a yearof transition and consolidationfor CMG. Growth will beorganic with no acquisitionscontemplated. We will bebuilding on establishedbusinesses, merging theConsulting businesses and the CMyPeople sales initiative,as well as implementing anddelivering the Defence ForceRecruiting contract. There will be a strong drive forproductivity improvement in higher margin, permanentrecruitment businesses.

OverviewOur specialist Consultingdivision includes services such as human resourcesconsulting, online solutions,outplacement services,psychometric testing,developmental and vocationalassessment and training, andrecruitment processoutsourcing.

2008 ObjectivesOur key objective for 2008 wasto drive growth in this divisionby delivering high value andhigh margin business, utilisingthe IP we have developed overthe last few years. We lookedto grow the areas of volumeassessment, research anddevelopment, leadershipassessment and strategicplanning, as well as strategicHR consulting. We also aimedto forge strategic partnershipsglobally to remain at theforefront of HR consultancies.

2008 AchievementsRevenues in Consulting grewby 81% or $10.9 million during2008 to reach $24.5 million for the year. Of this growth,approximately $6 million can be attributed to acquisitions,with the balance coming fromorganic growth.

During the year we acquiredMettle Consulting andCompAssess. The integration of these businesses is wellunderway and is scheduled for completion in early 2009.The merger of our existingbusiness with these two newoperations has created a newprofessional services structurethat provides a more integratedservice delivery model andimproved career developmentopportunities for our staff.

Most of our organic growthcame from human resourcesconsulting and leadershipassessments.

FY09 will also see the transferof the CMyPeople sales initiativeinto the consulting division, inorder to better focus theservice offering to the relevantclients.

Outlook for 2009We plan to focus our efforts on bedding down the twoacquisitions we completed in 2008, with no furtheracquisition activity expected in the short to medium term.The merged business will berun based on service offeringswith national practices beingestablished. This will allow usto grow the specialist areas of each offering and to developexpertise and capability acrossAustralia. We will also be ableto leverage resources andintegrate systems and accountmanagement responsibilities.

Our organic growth strategieswill be achieved by leveragingoff the key strengths of eachbrand and appointing nationalpractice partners to maximisecapability, develop ourintellectual property andincrease our profile andbusiness opportunities. We aim to increase our share ofwork coming from our existingclients through strategic cross-selling, and see a softening ofthe employment market as anopportunity for growth inoutplacement services.
