Westminster Group plc, the AIM listed supplier of system solutions and products
to the security, defence, fire protection and safety markets worldwide,
announces the opening of a new sales office in Dubai, UAE, to service directly
the Company's strategically important Middle Eastern marketplace.

The new office is part of Westminster's planned international expansion as set
out in the Company's AIM Admission Document published in June of this year.

The office is situated in the heart of the commercial centre of Dubai, on the
41st floor of the stunning Emirates Twin Towers on Sheikh Zayed Road, close to
the World Trade Centre. Dubai was chosen as Westminster's Middle East base
because of its highly developed infrastructure, communications and transport
links.

Westminster also announces the appointment of Michael Parker as Middle East
Business Development Manager. Mr Parker will be based in the Dubai office and
will strengthen and assist the Middle East sales team in handling the high
volume of sales enquiries received from the region. A former British Army
Officer involved in security, intelligence and counter terrorist duties, Mr
Parker has many years experience in advising Governmental and Commercial
organisations in the Middle East and Africa on risk analysis and security.

Commenting on the Group's expanding Middle East Operations, Peter Fowler, Chief
Executive of Westminster Group, said:

'I am delighted that we have been able to establish a presence in what is
considered the best commercial address in the Middle East so soon after our IPO.

'I am equally delighted that Michael Parker is joining us at such an important
stage in the Group's development. His expertise and experience within the region
will be a valuable addition to our Middle East team.

'The Middle East is an important market for our extensive range of hardware and
systems solutions. The new sales office and our highly experienced team will now
provide additional support to existing customers and agents within the region
and give us a firm base from which to continue our expansion.'.
