The Future Network plc ('Future'), the international magazine Group, today

recruit a new Managing Director for its UK business in due course.  The role of
Chief Operating Officer will cease.

'Colin joined Future at a very difficult time when the company was undergoing
major changes.  He played a crucial role in our restructuring and
re-organisation.  The business is now in much better shape and we understand his
decision to move on after three years.  On behalf of shareholders I want to
thank him for a job very well done.'

Future's Chief Executive Greg Ingham added:

'Colin and I have worked closely for the past three years in reshaping, changing
and growing the company.  We were fortunate to get someone of his skills and
experience just when we needed him.  I and the whole Future team thank him for
his efforts and wish him the very best for his next challenge.'
