                           ("Invocas" or "the Group")



                     Appointment of Non Executive Director



The Board of Invocas is pleased to announce the appointment of David Roy
Macmillan as an independent non-executive director of the Group with effect from
21 November 2007. David has extensive knowledge of the City and the financial
services sector. Until recently David was with the Standard Life Group, having
spent 16 years in a variety of roles culminating in a position as UK Retail
Director. He recently joined Barrie & Hibbert Ltd, a leading financial risk
consultancy based in the UK and the USA, where he has assumed the role of Chief
Executive.



David joined Standard Life in 1991 as a graduate management trainee. In 1998, as
Head of Corporate Development, he joined the start-up team at Standard Life Bank
to take charge of sales and marketing. David spent the next seven years playing
a major role in shaping and directing the multi-award winning telephone and
internet bank, becoming Sales and Marketing Director in 2000 and joining the
Board in 2003. By the time David left the Bank in 2005 to rejoin the parent
business, the bank had over #14bn of assets under management.



In 2005, David was appointed UK Retail Director at Standard Life Group, ahead of
the company's Stock Market floatation in July 2006. He was tasked with
identifying and validating growth and productivity synergies across the core UK
insurance, investment, banking and healthcare operations.



Commenting on the appointment, Howard Bell, Chairman of Invocas, said:



" We are delighted to welcome David to the Board. David has a great track record
managing sustained growth in innovative financial services companies. His
particular experience in finance services, marketing and product distribution at
the highest level will further strengthen our Board and will be of benefit to
the wider business as we continue to expand the scale and scope of our personal
and corporate debt solutions. We look forward to his contribution to the next
stage of our development."
