New Cardinal Partnership Agreement

Frenkel Topping (AIM: FEN), a specialist financial and professional services firm operating within the personal injury and clinical negligence marketplace, is delighted to announce that, Cardinal Management Limited ("Cardinal"), has agreed a partnership with a new NHS Major Trauma Centre at Royal Stoke University Hospital. This, along with the addition to the NHS Trauma Centre it signed during the previous financial year at Sheffield Children's Hospital, takes the total number of Major Trauma Centres ("MTCs") supported by Cardinal to twelve.

Andrew Pemberton, Managing Director of Cardinal, said:

"Following a comprehensive selection process, I am especially delighted we have been selected by University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust to support their patients.  This exciting development for the Major Trauma Signposting Partnership (MTSP) will enable NHS colleagues to facilitate additional support for patients at difficult times for them and their loved ones.  We are looking forward to working with the team at the Major Trauma Centre in Stoke."

The Company is very pleased to see the continued contribution of Cardinal to the Group and increasing momentum in signing partnerships with new trauma centres.
