Bespak PLC
05 October 2007



                      ADOPTION OF NEW NAME FOR BESPAK PLC
                                        

With effect from 3rd October, Bespak, a leader in medical devices for inhaled
drug delivery and anaesthesia has changed its name from Bespak plc to Consort
Medical plc.

The Company announced its plan to change its name earlier this year and gained
shareholder approval for the change at its Annual General Meeting at the end of
September.

As the name change applies only to the Company, the familiar Bespak & King
Systems brands will continue to exist in their respective market segments. The
Bespak brand name will be retained in the Inhaled Drug Delivery business segment
which designs and manufactures metered-dose and dry powder inhalers. The King
Systems brand, recognised widely in the US, will remain for the division that
designs and manufactures breathing circuits, masks and laryngeal tubes.

Commenting on the name change, Mark Throdahl, Consort Medical's Chief Executive,
said:

"During recent years the group has grown in both size and focus to become a
leading provider of medical devices. The name 'Consort Medical' conveys our
belief that partnerships with customers, whether they be pharmaceutical
companies or physicians, are critical to our continued success."
