Directorate Change

Leeds Group PLC
08 March 2007


                        Leeds Group plc (the 'Company')
                                        
                              Directorate Changes
                                        
At the conclusion of the Company's AGM held earlier today, the following changes
to the board of Directors took place with immediate effect.

As mentioned in the Company's final results announced in January, Vin Murria did
not offer herself for re-election at today's AGM and accordingly is no longer a
director of Leeds Group plc. Vin joined the Board in February 2002 and was
appointed Chairman in April 2004. The board extend to her their thanks for her
valuable contribution to the considerable restructuring and change that has been
achieved in this period. Ewen Wigley will replace Vin as Chairman.

The Company is pleased to announce the appointment of Peter Jan Patrick Valentin
Gyllenhammar, aged 53, as a non-executive director to the Board of the Company.
Peter is a professional investor who has been involved in investing in smaller
companies for many years both in the UK and overseas.

Peter is currently a director of the following companies:

Bronsstadet AB
Erudite UK Limited
Forvaltnings AB Browallia
Forvaltnings AB Bronsstadet
Framfab Orestad AB
Karvasen AB
Silverslaggan AB

Peter's past Directorships within the last five years are:

British Mohair Holdings Limited
Browallia Holdings Limited
Browallia Plc
Bullough Limited
Cape Plc
Darby Group plc
Erudite 2003 Ltd
Fastighets AB Brassia
Henomag AB

Kihlship AB
Kummel Rederi AB
Montpellier Group Plc
R.A.P. Conveyors Limited
The Union Discount Company of London Limited
Scribona AB

Administrators were appointed to Reece Plc, of which Mr Peter Gyllenhammar was a
director, with a view to preserving the Company's business as a going concern or
achieving a better result for creditors than from a liquidation. The
administrators were unable to realise their proposals and Reece Plc was placed
in liquidation with net liabilities of over £1,250,000 to unpaid creditors.

Mr Gyllenhammar joined the Board of Yorkshire Group Plc, in which he was the
largest shareholder, in February 2004 after the company had announced that its
financial future was uncertain. In April 2004, Mr Gyllenhammar resigned from the
Board so that he could take part in a possible refinancing and avoid any
conflicts of interest. The refinancing did not proceed and Administrators were
appointed later that year.

Browallia UK Limited was solvent when it was dissolved. Mr Gyllenhammar
currently holds 6,732,499 ordinary shares in the Company, representing 19.6 per
cent. of the total voting rights in the Company.

There is no further information to be disclosed pursuant to AIM Rules for
Companies Schedule 2(g).
