                               Directorate Change


Big Yellow Group PLC, the FTSE 250 self storage company, announces that Philip
Burks, a Co-Founder and Property Director of the Group, will be moving to a non
executive position from today's date.

Over the last 6 months much of Philip's responsibilities have been assumed by
Andrew Watson, the Group's newly appointed Director of Property. Andrew has been
with Big Yellow for 6 years and will now head a team of 5, reporting directly to
Nicholas Vetch, the Group's Executive Chairman, who will take up responsibility
for property matters at Board level.

As a significant shareholder, Philip will remain available when his considerable
experience and contacts are needed.

Nicholas Vetch, Chairman, commented:
"I have been in business with Philip for 21 years and it has been unequivocally
and without exception, the best of partnerships. Although I will miss his day to
day involvement, I am grateful he will continue to make available his contacts,
experience and advice.

He has been instrumental in piecing together a unique portfolio for Big Yellow
and on behalf of James Gibson, the Group's CEO, and the remainder of the Board,
we thank him for his valuable contribution.

Initially under Philip's guidance and latterly on his own merits, Andrew Watson
has seamlessly established his credentials and I have every confidence that he
will continue to deliver the necessary property acquisitions and planning
consents to continue the Group's expansion."
