Barratt Developments PLC, announces the appointment of Simon Cunningham as Group
Sales and Marketing Director. Simon will report to Mark Clare, CEO, and will be
joining Barratt's Executive Committee.

Simon will be responsible for all the Group's branding and central marketing

and effectiveness of the company's sales channels across the Group.

Throughout his career Simon has held various marketing, sales and general
management roles. From 1995 he managed the international marketing for Coca-Cola

Simon moved to Umbro International 2 years ago, when Allied was sold, as Senior
Vice President, International Business, with responsibility for all of Umbro's
operations outside of the UK.

Mark Clare, Group Chief Executive, said;
'It is essential that following the acquisition of Wilson Bowden we maximise the
impact of our sales and marketing activities and that our brands are correctly
positioned and fully exploited. I am delighted that we have someone of Simon's
calibre to complete our Executive Team.'

Simon Cunningham added;
'The house building industry is changing rapidly. The challenge of building
brands in this sector is one of the most exciting roles around and I am looking
forward to being part of the next stage in Barratt's development.'
