Further   to  its  trading  statement  issued  yesterday,
Churchill is pleased to announce the following changes to
its Board.  On Wednesday 17 May 2000, Derek Mapp resigned
as  the  non-executive Director of the  Company  and  was
replaced  by Jonathan Sparey, 42.  At the same  time  two
further  executive appointments were made, Simon  Michael
John Bell, 44, and Ralph Grundy, 39.  Simon and Ralph are
Sales  and  Marketing Directors of the Group's Dining  In
and  Dining Out divisions and have worked for  the  Group
for  seven and two years respectively.  Their roles  have
previously  been performed as directors  of  the  Group's
principal  operating  subsidiary,  Churchill  China  (UK)
Limited.  The appointment to main board reflects not only
a  recognition of the hard work and commitment they  have
demonstrated  over the last two years in  particular  but
also the need for the sales and marketing functions to be
fully  represented at main board level.  I am pleased  to
welcome them to the Board.
