          Burberry announces extension to Rose Marie Bravo's contract.

Burberry Group plc announced today that Chief Executive Rose Marie Bravo has
agreed to extend her existing employment contract to July 2006.

In entering into the extension the company has adjusted the vesting schedule
with respect to Ms Bravo's shares under the Restricted Share Plan. A substantial
part of her share incentives including 2.5 million shares under the Restricted
Share Plan, which would have vested in 2005 at the end of her employment will
now not vest until 2006 at the earliest. Accordingly, it has been agreed that 1
million shares awarded under the Restricted Share Plan, which will vest in July
2005 will now vest in July 2004.

No new share incentives have been awarded to Ms Bravo in respect of this
extension.

Commenting on this John Peace, Chairman of Burberry, said:

'The Board is delighted that Rose Marie has extended her contract. Under her
leadership Burberry has been transformed into an international luxury brand and
the business has achieved great success with respect to revenues and
profitability.'
