Mike Sutton who has today resigned for personal reasons from the Board and the
Company.

Jim was previously Group Finance Director of Informa Group plc, which recently

Group Finance Director since 1998 and was previously with Touche Ross.  He is 38
years old and is married with three daughters.

Jim Wilkinson has nothing to declare in relation to paragraphs 6.F.2 (b) to (g)

Commenting on the Board changes, Stuart Graham, CEO, said:

'We would like to thank Mike for his considerable contribution over the 25 years
he has been with the Group and for the last 19 years as Finance Director and
Chief Financial Officer.  After two very difficult years, Johnson is now very
much refocused and he is leaving the Group in a stronger position.   We wish him
well for the future.

Jim has considerable experience in growth companies both in the UK and overseas
which we believe to be incremental skills to maintain the progress to date and
to take the Group forward.'
