It's All in a Name: Express Personnel Services Becomes Express Employment Professionals

OKLAHOMA CITY--(Business Wire)--
Since 1983, Express Personnel has been providing unparalleled
staffing services across a variety of industries. As the company marks
its 25th anniversary, Express Personnel Services has changed its name
to Express Employment Professionals to refocus its branding efforts in
order to better reflect its service lines and direction for the
future.

The new name allows all Express staffing services, along with its
human resources and payroll services, to fit under the Express
Employment Professionals umbrella.

This eliminates the need for additional service line names and
logos. Additionally, the name emphasizes Express franchisees' ability
to provide their clients with full-service employment solutions. It is
also in line with the company's growing emphasis on office services
and professional staffing.

"This new focus will allow us to improve our offerings to our
customers, employees and franchisees by presenting a name that better
describes what we do," Express CEO and Founder Robert A. Funk said.
"As we look toward the future, we're confident that this move will
enable us to provide more comprehensive workforce solutions to a
greater number of businesses and individuals." Along with the name
change, Express Employment Professionals also has a new logo and web
address - www.expresspros.com.

Express has opened 130 new offices over the past two years and has
plans to open at least 50 additional offices in the United States and
Canada in 2008. Express is projecting to double sales to $4 billion
and increase its offices to more than 900 in the next five years.

With 600 offices in four countries, Express Employment
Professionals employs 350,000 people each year. Sales for the Oklahoma
City-based company totaled nearly $2 billion in 2007. Express provides
expertise in evaluation and direct hire, temporary staffing, executive
recruiting and human resources.
