WALNUT CREEK, Calif., May 14, 2007 - Leading global provider of staffing services Westaff, Inc. (NASDAQ:WSTF), celebrates the 25th anniversary of its franchises in Vermont this month. The company's franchised Vermont offices, in Burlington, Barre and St. Johnsbury, are operated by the Mount Family Group, Ltd., which is owned by David and Fran Mount of Burlington and managed by Fran Mount, son James and daughter-in-law Karen. In the 25 years since they opened their first office in Burlington, the Mounts' stellar reputation for service has grown Westaff into one of Vermont Business Magazine's top-100 companies.

"Providing our clients the finest service possible has always been our top priority," said Westaff Franchise Owner Fran Mount. "We chose to partner with Westaff because their philosophy of delivering strategic staffing solutions to clients and candidates mirrored our own. Today, that commitment to service remains the foundation of our business."

This trademark commitment to service has earned Westaff Vermont success at the highest levels, despite challenges like opening the first office in the midst of the worst statewide depression since WWII. Today, Westaff's three Vermont offices place more than 650 candidates each year and employ a staff of 13, who combine for more than 100 years of staffing experience. In 2006 the Burlington office earned the first-ever Westaff "Office of the Year" honors. More recently, David Mount, recognized for pioneering Westaff franchise best-practices, moved from his day-to-day role in the Mount Family Group to become Westaff, Inc.'s, vice-president, franchising.

Employees, client companies and interested members of the public are invited to help celebrate Westaff's 25 years in Vermont at an open house to be held Tuesday, May 22 from 11:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the company's Burlington location, 74 Main Street.
