Press Release Body = txtNation Director Michael Whelan sees the US market as being
primed for a 'txtNation attack'.

Director, Michael Whelan, "With a good foothold in this market, I see the USA as
ultimately being the place for us to be. Our services are transparent enough for a
perfect fit and a strong place-hold in this emerging market."

Plymouth based entrepreneur Michael Whelan has also recently been shortlisted for
the recent Young Director of the Year Awards run by the Institute of Directors in
this region.

Michael Whelan, Co-Founder of txtNation, started the company as a 'Bedroom business'
and is now one of the fastest growing companies in the UK in this sector.

Four years on, txtNation now employs over 30 people, has fast growth sales and has
been profitable from day one.

Whelan commented \"It's pretty cool to think that I started a business when I
graduated with no more than a small loan - quite an achievement. What is even better
for me is that I know this is only the start!"

Whelan was put forward based on his endless energy and enthusiasm for business, his
own superb business mentality and his winning attitude.

Whelan is due to speak in the upcoming conference in London, event held for SME\'s
and start-ups, date to be confirmed.
