Appointment of non-executive chairman of Centaur Exhibitions Division

Centaur Media Plc, one of the UK's leading business information and events
groups, today announces the appointment of Alastair Gornall as non-executive
chairman of its Exhibitions Division.  Until recently, Alastair was CEO at Reed
Exhibitions Ltd, part of Reed Elsevier plc, who are the world's largest
exhibitions organiser.  During his time at Reed, Alastair had responsibility for
a portfolio of 45 international b2b exhibitions, including events in Europe,
China, India, the Middle East and the Americas.

Centaur's Chief Executive, Geoff Wilmot, said:  "I am delighted to welcome
Alastair to this new role at Centaur.  We see exhibitions as a key part of our
growth strategy for the future, as they offer a number of attractive
characteristics to a broad-based media business such as Centaur.

Alastair is a highly creative media professional.  He has exceptional experience
of running a large international exhibitions business and I am confident that he
will add great value to the business as he works with Calum Taylor, MD of
Centaur Exhibitions, to deliver this important part of our growth strategy.
Growth is expected to come from a combination of further new show launches and
selected acquisitions."

Centaur's exhibition portfolio includes market leading shows in the
construction, marketing, business travel and industrial sectors. Centaur
Exhibitions currently has a predominantly UK focus but in recent years has
launched shows in Dusseldorf, Dubai and Brussels.
