Epic Group plc ("Epic")
Change in Non-Executive Directorships

Epic Group, the UK's leading e-learning company, today announced that Brian
Stevens, has been appointed a Non-Executive Director with immediate effect.
Epic also announced that David Bull, currently Non-Executive Deputy Chairman,
has stated his intention to step down following greater responsibilities in an
extended executive position with Scotland Online.

Brian Stevens is the Chairman of Finance and Education Services ("FEdS"), an
organisation that works with business, education and government to improve
skills within the working environment.  At the core of FedS, Brian runs The
Business Forum for Lifelong Learning, a focus group made up of over 50 national
and multinational companies.

Prior to these roles, Brian was Director of External Relations at the British
Bankers' Association, between 1995 and 1996 an advisor to the Commons Select
Committee on Education and Employment and the business representative on the
then Secretary of State's Advisory committee on School Improvement.  Between
1985 and 1995 Brian was Director of the Banking Information Service ("BiS") part
of the British Bankers Association where he was involved in establishing a
number of organisations focusing on strategic training issues.

Brian Stevens has also confirmed that there is no additional information with
regards to his appointment that would require disclosure pursuant to paragraph
(f) of Schedule Two of the AIM Rules.

David Bull, the Non-Executive Deputy Chairman, who has served as a director
since 10 September 1999, has stated his intention to step down from the Board on
31 May 2003. David recently became Executive Chairman of Scotland Online and
with his increased responsibilities wants to concentrate on the new role.

Michael Inwards, the Chairman, commented:

"We are delighted that Brian Stevens has agreed to join the Board.  The wealth
of knowledge he brings, especially in government related online learning,
increases Epic's penetration in the public sector as we increasingly focus on
government, health and education contracts.  Clearly his experience with banking
organisations and multinational companies also benefits our work in the private
sector.

It is with sadness that we see David Bull leave us.  He has made an enormous
contribution to the growth of Epic and, on behalf of the Board, I would like to
wish him well for the future."
