For immediate release                                     Friday, 20 August 2004

                                Anite Group plc

                                 Board Changes

                   Appointment of new Non-Executive Director

Anite Group plc ('Anite' or 'the Group'), the worldwide IT solutions and
services company, today announces the appointment of David Hurst-Brown and the
retirement of Graham Caleb as Non-Executive Directors. These changes are in line
with the Group's recent statements that the appointment of new non-executive
directors was a priority as part of Board succession planning. Anite also
recently announced the appointment of Peter Bertram as a Non-Executive Director
with effect from 1 June 2004.

Mr Hurst-Brown, 55, since leaving UBS Warburg in April 2002, has been acting as
a Non-Executive Director of a variety of public and private companies and is
currently a member of the boards of Imagination Technologies Group plc,
FFastFill plc and Smart Approach Group plc. Previously David spent most of his
career in investment banking having joined the stockbroker Rowe & Pitman in
1975. Following the acquisition of Rowe & Pitman by SG Warburg & Co, David
joined its corporate finance division and advised a wide range of companies.
David brings to Anite his considerable City and corporate experience, having
advised a number of Software & Computer Services companies, and therefore adds
balance to the Board. He is a graduate of Nottingham University and a fellow of
The Securities Institute.

Graham Caleb has been a Non-Executive Director of Anite since 1999 and is due to
retire by rotation at the Group's forthcoming AGM and will not be seeking
re-election at that time. The Board expresses its thanks to Graham for his
contribution to Anite during the last five years.

Commenting on the board changes, Steve Rowley, Anite's Chief Executive, stated:

'I am pleased that as planned we have made considerable progress in the
appointment of new Non-Executive Directors with the recent appointments of Peter
Bertram and now David Hurst-Brown. I am confident that their significant
combined experience will benefit Anite.'
