Fuller, Smith & Turner P.L.C. ("Fuller's"), London's last remaining traditional

Finance Director Paul Clarke will retire at the end of April 2008. James Douglas
will be appointed to the Board as Finance Director Designate, with effect from

Having joined Fuller's as Finance Director in July 1991, Paul Clarke has been a
valuable member of the team which has advanced the Group in all trading areas,
with London Pride becoming the UK's best selling premium cask ale.

During his time at Fuller's, Paul oversaw the Group's move to the Main Market of
the London Stock Exchange in 1996 and was actively involved in the acquisition
of George Gale & Co. Ltd in 2005 and its subsequent integration. In addition,
Paul has represented the Company on the Technical and Executive Committees of
the Quoted Companies Alliance.

Michael Turner, Chairman of Fuller's, said: "Paul has been a great asset to
Fuller's and has made a significant contribution to the success of the business
through improving financial controls and reporting. His contribution has enabled
us to attain the highest standards of governance while maintaining the Company's
family-run ethos."
