Directorate change

Lavendon Group plc ("Lavendon" or "the Company") announces that David Hollywood has tendered his resignation as Chairman and a director of the Company.

David has a number of other business interests, including the finance directorship of a sizable private company, and feels that he is unable to continue to devote the time necessary to discharge his duties fully as a director and Chairman of Lavendon, and consequently it has been agreed that his resignation will be accepted.

He is succeeded as Chairman by John Standen, the Company's Senior Independent Director.

Commenting on the changes to the Board, Tim Ross, Nomination Committee Chairman, said: "The Board wishes David well for the future and thanks him for the very significant contribution that he has made to the Group over the past four years. We are highly fortunate to have a successor of the calibre of John Standen who has an excellent knowledge of the business, having joined the Board originally in 2005, and considerable experience in chairing public company boards."

The Board intends to appoint two additional Non-Executive Directors in the near future, in order to further broaden and strengthen the Board's range of skills and experience.
