In recognition of the Company's recent successes, rapid expansion and future

has strengthened its management structure and promoted Stephen Bates, currently
Director of UK Ventures, to UK Chief Executive. Responsibility for HR,
marketing, IT and operations will now be devolved from the Board to regional
chief executives ensuring full responsibility for all activities in their
respective regions.
With immediate effect, the Executive Management Board will consist of Group CEO,
Andrew Newland and Finance Director, Ian Griffiths, together with:
Stephen Bates, UK Chief Executive
Stephen Bates has an MA in engineering, and an MBA. Following 10 years within
the product development industry his career has taken him to Scientific
Generics, Arthur D. Little and Marks & Spencer prior to joining ANGLE in 2004.
Dr Gary Evans, US Chief Executive
Gary Evans has a BSc in Chemistry, a PhD in Physical Chemistry, and a Diploma in
Management Science and was Visiting Professor in Innovation Management at the
Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen. Following a career with Cambridge Life
Sciences and then Scottish Enterprise, Dr. Evans joined ANGLE in 1997.
Dr Eulian Roberts, Middle East Chief Executive
Eulian Roberts has a BSc in Microbiology, a PhD in Molecular Biology and an MBA.
He gained three years' post-doctoral experience and then joined Scottish
Enterprise. He then became chief executive of the Stirling University Innovation
Park, managing director of Coventry University Enterprises Limited and a

As a result of these changes, Dawson Buck will be stepping down from his
position as Deputy Chief Executive, with immediate effect. He remains a director
of ANGLE's venture companies, Corpora plc and Provexis plc.
Commenting on the new organisational structure, Group CEO, Andrew Newland, said:
'The formation of an Executive Management Board establishes a clear management
structure and accountability by region which will improve the efficiency and
integration of our Consulting & Management and Ventures operations, streamline
overheads and facilitate our continuing rapid growth.
The new management structure gives us the platform we need to grow the business
substantially. I am delighted to have such high calibre individuals within the
Executive Management Board.
I would also like to put on record my thanks to Dawson Buck for all his
contributions to the ANGLE Board over the last five years.'
