                   Westminster Group Plc: New Contract Awards
                    Anti Blast Glazing Protection Solutions


Westminster Group Plc ('Westminster'), the AIM listed supplier of system
solutions and products to the security, defence, fire protection and safety
markets worldwide, announces that it has secured 3 new contracts to supply and
install its anti blast glazing protection systems to protect the premises of a
number of large multinational and 'blue chip' companies in Algeria.

Westminster recently completed a project to install 200 Micron Clear Blast
Mitigation Film for international petrochemical company BP's North Africa SPU
premises in Algier, Algeria. This is Westminster's first contract award from BP
in Algeria and is in a product area offering major growth potential. Following
the success of this installation, Westminster has been awarded further contracts
from two unrelated businesses in Algeria.

Barry Shaw, BP's Business Security Manager for North Africa, endorsed the work
carried out by Westminster saying: 'We are pleased with the supply, quality and
professional fitting of the blast film and we would have no hesitation in using
Westminster again or recommending them to others'.

Commenting on the new contract awards, Peter Fowler, Chief Executive of
Westminster Group, added: 'Powerful shock waves emanating from a bomb blast
travel in all directions, very often affecting the weakest part of a building's
structure - its glazing! 'Westminster's safety and security film is designed to
effectively hold glass shards together, protecting against damage, injury and
death.

We have seen a recent marked increase in enquiries for blast protection systems
both in the UK and overseas and we anticipate further substantial orders to
follow in light of recent terrorist activity'.
