                   KINGFISHER REPORTS SALES GROWTH OF 12.5%

Kingfisher plc, the European retail Group, today reports that total sales grew
during  the  third quarter by 12.5 % to a record £2.92 billion.  Like-for-like
sales increased by 3.8% for the quarter.  In local currency terms, the Group's
total sales were ahead by 15.4%.

For  the year to date total sales were up 12.0% (15.6% adjusting for currency)
and like-for-like sales were ahead by 5.6%.

The Group's three sectors all showed increased total sales with a particularly
strong performance in DIY.  This performance was boosted by the continued roll
out  of  B&Q Warehouse along with strong growth from international operations.
Electricals  achieved  growth of  just over 9% boosted by  continued  strength
from  Comet  and BUT.  General Merchandise grew sales by over 6%  with  strong
performances  by  *Superdrug* and the new formats (Big W and Woolworths  General
Store) offsetting the slower rate of growth at Woolworths.

Like-for-like  sales  were  ahead by nearly 5% in both  DIY  and  Electricals.
*Darty*  in  particular performed strongly, delivering like-for-like  growth  of
over  10%.    General Merchandise grew by over 1%, reflecting continued  tough
market conditions.

Commenting on the sales figures, Sir Geoffrey Mulcahy, Chief Executive,  said:
'Overall, these are encouraging sales figures achieved in a highly competitive
environment.'   He added: 'We are now entering a key time and  our  businesses
are  focused  on  delivering success throughout the Christmas trading  period,
which, as ever, will have an important impact on the year's performance.'
