Deferred Share Bonus Awards

The Company announces the number set out below of nil cost options over ordinary
shares of 5p each in the capital of the Company ('shares') that were exercised
by the executive directors of the Company on 10 March 2008 pursuant to the terms
of the Deferred Share Bonus Awards approved by the Company on 24 March 2004.
These options represented 25% of the annual bonus earned by the directors in
respect of the year ended 31 December 2004. No long term incentives were made to
the executive directors in respect of that financial year.

In addition, Paul Whitmore has disposed of a proportion of the options equal to
the tax and National Insurance Contribution payable in respect of them.

These nil cost share options were satisfied from market purchased shares held in
the Morgan Sindall Employee Benefit Trust.
