Board Changes


Whilst the Special Committee's investigations into the concerns raised in the
Group's announcement of 10 May 2006 continue, Kevin Abbott, Chief Executive, and
Heather McRae, Finance Director, have today resigned as Directors of the Group.

The Group has today appointed Peter Williams as Chief Executive and Tim Redburn
as Finance Director.  Mr Redburn will be assuming the role on an interim basis
for a minimum period of three months during which time a search will be
conducted for a permanent Finance Director.

Peter Williams, 52, was previously Chief Executive of Selfridges plc until
February 2004.  Mr Williams, who joined Selfridges in 1991 as Finance Director,
led the company's demerger from Sears in 1998 and remained as Finance Director
of Selfridges plc until his appointment as Chief Executive.  Mr Williams
qualified as a Chartered Accountant with Arthur Andersen and subsequently worked
as a management consultant at Accenture.  He brings a valuable combination of
retail, finance and commercial experience, and since leaving Selfridges has
acquired a portfolio of senior non-executive positions.

Timothy Redburn, 52, is a Chartered Accountant with extensive experience in both
public and private companies in finance roles including in the aviation sector.
Recently he has been Group Finance Director and then Chief Executive of Simon
