              SCREEN PLC: Board and Senior Management Appointment

Screen Plc ('Screen' or 'the Company'), a leading provider of advanced security
and communication systems, announces an important addition to its main board and
a senior management appointment.

Major General Tim John Sulivan CB CBE BSc (aged 55) has been appointed to
Screen's main board as a Non-executive Director with immediate effect.  The
appointment follows the Company's move into the defence industry with the
acquisition in December 2001 of Joyce-Loebl Group Ltd, an established supplier
to this market.

Tim Sulivan's successful military career included many different domestic and
international responsibilities, culminating in a number of key appointments at
the Ministry of Defence, including being Chief Executive of the regional
infrastructure organisation that introduced a £900M PFI project.  Other notable
positions included leading the development of the Army's Strategy for the 21st
Century and serving as the only non-US member of General Schwarzkopf's strategic
planning team during the Gulf War.

His knowledge and experience of both military and administrative operations,
together with the management and implementation of high value projects, in the
UK and internationally, are key skills in markets seeing significant growth as
governments allocate more resources to security and defence spending.

Tim Sulivan has quickly established himself in the commercial sector where he
holds a number of executive positions, including developing business strategy at
BCD Modelling Ltd, a start-up computer modelling company and planning operations
& logistics for Land Securities Trillium Ltd.  As Vice President for Customer
Relations with General Dynamics (UK) Ltd, he is responsible for the company's
customer relations with the Ministry of Defence on the £1.7 billion 'Bowman'
battlefield communications project.

Tim Sulivan has never previously held any directorships and there are no matters
required to be disclosed pursuant to paragraph F of Schedule 2 of the AIM rules.

Commenting upon the range of skills that Tim Sulivan brings to Screen, Owen
Williams, Chairman of Screen said:

'In addition to Tim's many high-level contacts within the Ministry of Defence
and the military, his experience in briefing and working with senior government
representatives will be a valuable addition to the talent Screen is assembling
to support its operating businesses.  One of the major responsibilities of this
position will be to ensure that the range of products assembled by Screen
through acquisition and development achieves greater visibility in both UK and
international defence markets.'


Appointment of Chief Technology Officer

Following the successful integration of recent acquisitions into four main
market facing businesses focused on: Emergency Services; Security &
Surveillance; Transport; and Defence, the board considers that effective
selection and deployment of the Company's technologies will be a critical
determinant in the Company's future success.  To oversee this responsibility Mr.
Malcolm Wright has been appointed as Group Chief Technology Officer ('CTO'), a
new position in the Company.

Formerly Chief Executive of Pentyre Ltd (acquired by Screen in July 2001),
Malcolm has knowledge and experience gained from over 30 years working in
Electronics and Information Technology.  With a Degree in Electronic
Engineering, his career includes Weapons Systems R&D with a major international
defence contractor, 10 years at IBM as a Systems Engineer/Manager and 2 years as
a Director of an international software house.

Malcolm Wright's primary objectives will be to oversee current and future
investment in products and technologies, including all R&D activity, as the
Company seeks to ensure optimum returns from its IPR.

Commenting, Claes Bergstedt, Chief Executive of Screen said:

'The appointment of Malcolm Wright as CTO will provide us with a set of skills
and experience that will considerably enhance our ability to support and manage
the technology aspects of our growth strategy.  It also continues our policy of
ensuring that we have access to the skills and specialist knowledge needed to
succeed in our chosen markets, whilst allowing us to focus on continuing
integration and operational support of our businesses.'
