PEEL HOLDINGS p.l.c.



Peel Holdings p.l.c. announces that Robert Hough will be stepping down as
Executive Deputy Chairman of Peel Holdings p.l.c. with effect from 1 November
2002.  He will continue as Non-Executive Deputy Chairman, Peel Holdings p.l.c.,
and also as Chairman of Peel Airports and Liverpool John Lennon Airport.



John Whittaker, Chairman of Peel Holdings p.l.c., said 'Robert Hough has
contributed hugely to the success of Peel and, but for this, we would not be
where we are today.  We are delighted that he will be continuing as
Non-Executive Deputy Chairman and also taking a special interest in our Airports
Division, which is one of our major engines for growth.'



Robert Hough said 'I have been fortunate during the last 13 years to have been
at Peel during a period of massive growth on so many different fronts.  The last
few years have been particularly hectic for me and I thought it was now
appropriate to take stock and adjust my work commitments and look at fresh
opportunities.'
