                        APPOINTMENT OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE                         

Fuller, Smith & Turner P.L.C ("Fuller's" or "the Company") is pleased to
announce the appointment of Simon Emeny, currently Group Managing Director, as
Chief Executive with effect from the 1st July 2013.

Simon, (aged 47), joined Fuller's in 1996. With an initial brief to run the
Company's Managed Pubs, Simon joined the main Board in 1998 and was then
promoted to Managing Director of Fuller's Inns in 2006. He subsequently became
Group Managing Director in 2010.

Prior to this, Simon was previously at Bass PLC, joining as a graduate trainee
in 1987. During his nine year tenure with that business, he held a number of
senior operational and management positions culminating in the role of
Strategic Planning Manager in 1995.

Simon is also a Non-Executive Director of Dunelm Plc, the specialist homeware
retailer.

This is the next stage in the evolution of the Company's succession plan and
Michael Turner, who became Managing Director in 1992, Chief Executive in 2002
and Executive Chairman in 2007 will continue as Chairman of the Group in a
Non-Executive capacity.

Chairman, Michael Turner, said:

"Simon's record of success has been outstanding. He has delivered a first class
performance during his time with Fuller's and I know he is the right person to
lead the Company on to the next step in its long-term development as a leader
in its field."

Simon Emeny said:

"I feel proud to be appointed Chief Executive of a Company based on strong
values, quality, and long term vision. I would like to thank Michael for his
inspirational leadership and I look forward to continuing to work closely with
him in the future."
