PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CROWN WORLDWIDE'S EXPANSION REACHES TANZANIA Crown Tanzania is the Newest Addition to the Global Network TANZANIA, March 12, 2008 -- Crown Worldwide Group, a worldwide leader of global mobility, relocation services, transportation, storage and logistics, welcomes Crown Tanzania to its global network. Crown Tanzania is located in Dar es Salaam, the commercial capital of the country. Tanzania is becoming more recognizable throughout the world and numerous international groups in the mining, agricultural, gas and oil, insurance, tourism and service industries are increasing their staff and presence in the country. There is a large nongovernmental organization base, in the country, with a slant toward the medical field for the prevention of malaria and AIDS, and a significant amount of U.S. funding is being directed into the region. Crown’s operation will be overseen by country manager Simon Maitland. Following a career in the military, Maitland joined an international removals company in 1998. As operations manager, he had responsibility for international and local moves within Botswana, and also to South Africa, Malawi, Zambia, Namibia and Angola. Maitland said, "Crown will begin providing relocation services for a very large expatriate community with over 50 diplomatic embassies and missions, including USAID, DFID, the U.S. Peace Corps and most of the United Nations organisations. Schooling, housing and residential maintenance service facilities are limited so Crown will fill the needs of expatriates by providing full global mobility services (GMS)." Tanzania is the largest country in East Africa -- nearly a million square kilometers (386,109 square miles) blessed with natural beauty and much wildlife. After nearly four decades of socialism, the country is now a fully integrated democratic society moving toward being one of Africa's more vibrant economies. David Muir, CEO Crown Worldwide EMEA, commented, "This is a very important development for Crown as we expand our owned network from a strong base in Southern Africa to better serve our global customer base. This 50th country will not be the last and plans are well advanced for others during 2008."
