3 UK on track with sales

June 4, 2003

Colin Tucker, co-chief Executive of 3 UK, said the current handset sales exceeded its business plan and gave the first hint it might fall short of full-year sale targets.

"The growth rates indicate that we should be able to get close to our objective by the end of the year," said Tucker at the FT World Mobile Communications.

Caning Fok, Managing Director of Hutchison Whampoa that controls 3 UK, originally said the group planed to sell 1 million handsets in the UK by the end of the year.

Tucker said teething problems with the network, which spoiled its launch in March, were now over and sales were broadly on track.

"It's been growing really well, and if you take the period since we've been going, it's well ahead of where we expected to be in out business plan," said Tucker.

Official targets now say that 3 UK and its sister companies will see two million handsets across Europe by the end of 2003.

3 UK is now in talk with several handset vendors but cannot confirm what models will be release soon.

The company is gearing up for a robust fourth quarter in the run up to the Christmas holiday with new package deals coming up very soon.
