Paul Tebbutt, Chief Executive of Millfield, commented: "Harry has done a great
job over the last 4 1/2 years. He has now decided to take a career break. I would
like to thank him for all his help, and welcome Arthur Milton as Interim Finance
Director, who will take the company to its next stage of development by focusing
on, improving profitability and services to our advisers / firms. Harry will be
effecting a smooth handover throughout July, August & September."

and array of skills represent an outstanding opportunity for Millfield, and I
have no doubt that he will play a major role in our future development."
Harry Roome, former Finance Director of Millfield, said: "I joined Millfield
4 1/2 years ago when annual turnover was £10 million to support the
transformation of the business. Since then we have floated the company on AIM,
delivered 4 years of growth, merged with Inter-Alliance and completed the
integration of the businesses. The result is a substantial distribution business
which has critical mass with turnover of around £120 million and is
exceptionally well positioned to prosper in today's market. Millfield now moves
to a new phase in its development and it is time for me to move on. Millfield
has great potential and I wish the company well for the future."
Millfield will announce its Preliminary results during August 2005. The results
are expected to be in line with market expectations.
