SCOTT WILSON ANNOUNCES SENIOR MANAGEMENT APPOINTMENTS

Scott Wilson Group plc, the multi-disciplinary international design and engineering consultancy for the built and natural environments, today announces two senior management appointments that follow the final implementation of the Group's new sector based managing and reporting structure.

The new structure is designed to put Scott Wilson in a stronger position to leverage its global offer and service clients in both its domestic and international markets through closer sector collaboration. The restructuring will also provide external audiences with a more transparent understanding of how Scott Wilson operates.

Both appointments will be effective from 1 May 2009 and will report directly to Hugh Blackwood, Group Chief Executive.

Jerome Munro-Lafon is appointed Group Managing Director, UK and Ireland Operations. He will direct the five UK based sector businesses; Road, Rail, Buildings, Environment and Strategic Consultancy. Jerome has been with Scott Wilson for 32 years having previously been CEO of UK South Division since 2005 and has held a number of senior positions across the business.

John Horgan will become Group Managing Director, International Regional Operations responsible for overseeing the continuing growth across our four sector facing international businesses in Asia Pacific, Europe, India and the Middle East. John was formerly CEO of Cameron Taylor which was acquired by Scott Wilson in 2007.

Hugh Blackwood, Group Chief Executive, commented:

“These appointments will complete a well-planned restructuring programme which will reinforce Scott Wilson’s position in the current market and set the business up for the next stage of its evolution toward becoming an Integrated Global Enterprise.”
