For immediate release
Director's Shareholding



The interests of David Gales, a director of the company, in the share capital of
the company have been disclosed since the company's listing on the London Stock
Exchange in April 2001 on the basis of including 935,000 ordinary shares of 1p
each held by the DR Gales 1997 Children's Settlement Trust as part of his
beneficial interests.

The original disclosure was based on the fact that at the time, whilst David
Gales himself was not a beneficiary of the DR Gales 1997 Children's Settlement
Trust, as one of the beneficiaries was a child under the age of 18, they were
deemed to be a connected party under section 346 of the Companies Act 1985.

Since then, all the beneficiaries of the Trust have reached the age of 18 and
the company was informed on 18th November 2003 that David Gales resigned as a
trustee on 17th November 2003.

Set out below are the beneficial and non-beneficial interests of David Gales in
the company's ordinary share capital both as previously disclosed and following
the changes to the settlement, its trustees and beneficiaries outlined above.
