MILLFIELD GROUP PLC ANNOUNCES

SUCCESSFUL PLACING AND ADMISSION TO AIM

The independent financial advisory company, Millfield Group plc ('Millfield'),
is pleased to announce it has successfully raised £18.5 million (£16.5 million
net of expenses) through a Placing of 15,706,800 Ordinary Shares at 118p,
valuing Millfield at £55.6 million. Shares begin trading today, 1 March 2001,
on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM).

Paul Tebbutt, Chief Executive of Millfield, said:

'The interest shown in Millfield during the Placing was extremely positive.
Millfield is a fast growing, national independent financial advisory company.
As a young company, it does not suffer from pension mis-selling issues.
Therefore the business has been able to focus on providing quality of service
to customers and embracing technological solutions to maximise the full
potential of the business. There are increasing opportunities for properly
funded, structured IFAs and I am confident that the considerable industry
experience of the Millfield team will enable us to become recognised as a
national IFA provider.'

KPMG Corporate Finance is the Nominated Adviser to the Company and the shares
were placed by Collins Stewart Limited, Millfield's Broker.
