SIG plc, Europe's leading specialist supplier of insulation, roofing and
commercial interior products, announces the appointment of two new non-executive
directors to the Board, with effect from 1st March 2003.

Les Tench (57), until recently managing director of CRH-Europe, Building
Products, takes on the role of senior independent director.  He is joined by
David Haxby (61), previously a senior partner with an international accountancy
practice and presently a non-executive director of Cattles plc and Cyberes plc.

Barrie Cottingham, non-executive Chairman of SIG, commented:

'Les Tench and David Haxby each bring considerable experience and will add
significantly to the Board.  As the company continues to move forward, I believe
Les and David will make an important contribution.  These appointments,
particularly the newly created post of a senior independent director, strengthen
further the Board from a corporate governance perspective.'

Mr Nick Paul, who joined the Board as a non-executive director in 2001, has
decided to step down from SIG, with effect from 1st March 2003, in order to
concentrate on other business interests.  The Board thanks him for his valuable
contribution.
