The  Board of Senior announces that it has accepted the resignation of  Andrew

Engineering and Machine Tool Technology.  He held senior management  positions
at  Stone Platt Plc and Fenner Plc before joining Adwest in 1985 where he  was
Director  of  the  Automotive  division and  Group  Managing  Director  before
becoming  Group  Chief  Executive in 1994.  He is  currently  a  non-executive
director of St Ives Plc.

Senior remains in active discussions with a small number of parties who may or
may not make an offer for the Company.  A further announcement will be made in
due course.

Commenting on the appointment, Dr Alan Watkins, Chairman of Senior, said:
'I  am  delighted  to  welcome Graham Menzies to  the  Board  as  Group  Chief
Executive.   We  look  forward  to working with  Graham  to  develop  Senior's
