                               Board Appointments

Renold plc is pleased to announce the appointment of two Non-Executive
Directors. Matthew Peacock will be joining the Board as Chairman and Rod Powell
will be a Non-Executive Director with immediate effect.

These appointments follow the announcement at the AGM on 19 September 2006 when
Roger Leverton, Chairman and Mark Smith, Senior Non-Executive Director announced
their intention to step down from the Company as Non-Executive Directors, which
they have done today with immediate effect.

Matthew Peacock, aged 44, is the co-founder of Hanover Investors, a specialist
turnaround investment firm based in London and New York. Prior to Hanover,
Matthew ran the International M&A team in London at Barclays De Zoete Wedd in
1989, having previously worked in New York for Credit Suisse First Boston. Rod
Powell was Chief Executive of the Control Systems Division of Invensys.

Bob Davies, Chief Executive commented; 'I would like to express my thanks on
behalf of the Board to both Roger and Mark for their assistance and wise counsel
over many years and in particular on a personal level since I joined the Company
in 2004. They both have helped us through a difficult period and given the
recovery in the Group's performance and following the recent restructuring, they
have now decided the time is right to step down from the Board. We welcome
Matthew and Rod and look forward to working with them as the Company continues
to move forward.'

As the Chairman expressed at the AGM this week, the results of the first five
months have shown a continuation of the substantially improved performance seen
in the second half of last year. Steel prices have remained relatively stable so
far, although there is some indication of upward pressure in the second half.
Order intake over recent months has been encouraging, with the order book
balance at the end of August up 14% from the beginning of the year, and
cumulative orders for the first five months up 16% over the previous year.
