Juddery Suzuki Swift clutch

I recently bought a Suzuki Swift GLX (09 plate) and I've noticed that the car has started to judder when pulling away. It doesn't happen all the time but seems to be at it's worst at the beginning of a journey, especially in the morning.

I've only been driving since August last year so at first I thought it was just me but now I'm not so sure.

Probably clutch or clutch release bearing.
