31 July 2006

                                 Filtronic plc


                                 Board changes


Filtronic plc announces that John Poulter joins as non executive chairman of the
Board of the company with immediate effect.  Rhys Williams retires as chairman
with immediate effect and will remain as a member of the Board until he retires
at the forthcoming AGM on 29 September 2006.


The company also announces that David Rhodes has informed the Board that he will
retire at the forthcoming AGM on 29 September 2006 as Group Chief Executive and
member of the Board.  When John Roulston left the group in January 2006, David
Rhodes took on the role of Group Chief Executive in order to stabilise the
company's operational position.  David Rhodes considers that this will have been
fully achieved by the time of the AGM and therefore that he should withdraw from
his current role at that time. It is intended that David Rhodes will continue to
support the group, and so the company will continue to benefit from his advice
and guidance in the future'
