Electrocomponents plc - Announcement

Electrocomponents plc, the major international high-service distributor of
electronic, electrical and industrial supplies, announces that, following
successful and extensive testing, the new Enterprise Business System has gone
live in the UK, the largest operating company, and the Group hub including all
central processes and support to the International business.

The system performed well in the quiet trading period between Christmas and New
Year and will now be used to support our normal business volumes.

The next announcement on the performance of the system is expected to be made at
the time of the Group's normal trading update in late March 2006.
