BOARD CHANGE


SSL International plc, the manufacturer and distributor of healthcare products,
today announces that Alain Strasser, a non-executive director, has resigned from
the Board with immediate effect.


Mr Strasser joined the Board in October 2000. In light of his increasing
executive responsibilities as CEO at Harry's Group, and other corporate
opportunities, Mr Strasser has decided to concentrate his efforts on those
businesses.


Ian Martin, Chairman, said "On behalf of the Board I would like to thank Alain
for all of the valuable input he has given during his time on the Board. There
can be no doubt that we have derived significant benefit from his international
business perspective, and he leaves with our best wishes."
