             Board Appointment at Greencore Group plc ('Greencore')


The Board of Greencore Group plc announced on 24th June, 2004 that it had
co-opted Mr. David Simons as a non-executive director of the company with effect
from 1st July, 2004.

Mr. Simons ('the Director') has no unspent convictions, has never been declared
bankrupt, nor has he ever been the subject of an individual voluntary
arrangement or a receivership of any assets held by him.   The Director was
appointed a director with an executive function of Cellar 5 Group Limited and
Defacto 936 Limited (part of the Parisa group of companies) in 2001 and was a
director within the 12 months preceding the appointment of a liquidator under a
creditors voluntary liquidation in February, 2003.  Mr. Simons was aware of the
financial status of those companies when appointed a director having been asked
by the shareholders and lenders to the companies to assist in an attempted
rescue.    Other than those appointments, the Director has not been a director
with an executive function of any company at the time of or within the 12 months
preceding its bankruptcy, receivership, administration, liquidation, company
voluntary arrangement or composition or arrangement with its creditors
generally.     There have been no public criticisms of the Director by any
statutory or regulatory authority nor has the Director ever been disqualified by
a court from acting as a director of a company or from acting in the management
or conduct of the affairs of any company.    The Director has not been a partner
of any partnership at the time or within 12 months preceding its compulsory
liquidation, administration or partnership voluntary arrangement.    The
Director has not had a receiver appointed over any of his assets or any of the
assets of the partnership of which he was a partner within 12 months after he
ceased to be a partner of that partnership.
