              SAVILLS ANNNOUNCES NON EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR CHANGES

Savills plc, the international property adviser, has today announced that
following the sale by First Pacific Company (FPC) of its 19.6% shareholding in
the company, the Non-Executive Directors nominated to the Board by FPC, David
Eastlake and Michael Healy, will stand down with effect from close of business
on 13 March 2001.

Aubrey Adams, Group Chief Executive of Savills plc, commented:

'I would like to thank First Pacific Company for its input to the Group over
the last four years and, in particular, for the contribution that David
Eastlake and Michael Healy have made to the Board during their time as
Non-Executive Directors. With FPC's assistance Savills acquired a particularly
strong business in the Asia Pacific region that now forms the base for further
development.

Looking to the future, we aim, together with our US affiliate, Trammell Crow
Company, to be the leading international provider of property services.'
