Board changes 
 
 
International Greetings plc ("International Greetings" or the "Company") is 
pleased to announce the next stage in the restructuring of its Board. 
 
 
John Elfed Jones, who was Chairman until 2006 and has since been a Non-Executive 
Director, retired as a director on 31st March 2009 after 15 years of service. 
 
 
He has been succeeded as a Non-Executive Director by Chris Howell.  Chris is 
highly experienced in Executive, Non-Executive and advisory roles within 
companies, and has worked extensively with banks and private equity houses.  He 
has experience in the retail, leisure and fast moving consumer goods sectors. 
 
 
The Company has also appointed Charles Uwakaneme as an Executive Director. 
Charles took charge of its business in Wales a year ago and has led and managed 
the restructuring of that business.  He will continue to be responsible for the 
business in Wales, but will also take on some Groupwide activities. 
 
 
Commenting on these changes Keith James, Chairman of International Greetings, 
said: 
 
 
"John Elfed Jones has given many years of invaluable service to the Company, 
both as a Non-Executive Director and previously as Chairman, for which we are 
very grateful. 
 
 
I am delighted to welcome Chris Howell to the Board as a Non-Executive Director 
and Charles Uwakaneme as an Executive Director. The Company will benefit greatly 
from their wide business experience."
