                 Hammerson plc Appoints Joint Corporate Broker



Hammerson plc has appointed Deutsche Bank to act as the Company's joint
corporate broker alongside existing broker, Citigroup.



Commenting on the appointment, Simon Melliss, Hammerson's Group Finance Director
said,



'Hammerson was one of the few FTSE 100 companies with a sole corporate broker.
With the substantial increase in investor interest in the real estate sector
over the last 12 months, and the introduction of REITs in the UK, we believe it
is appropriate to appoint another broker to work with our existing broker as we
increase our efforts to capitalise on the opportunities for Hammerson following
its adoption of REIT status.'
