                             RETIREMENT OF DIRECTOR




Henlys Group plc announces that Robert Wood, Chairman, will retire from the
Board on 30 April 2003. It was previously announced that Mr Wood intended to
become part-time non-executive Chairman following the recent appointment of
Allan Welsh as Chief Executive of the Group, but Mr Wood has now decided to take
early retirement to spend more time with his family.




From 1 May 2003 Mr Michael S. Ost, currently the senior independent
non-executive director, will assume the role of Chairman on an interim basis
until a long term appointment is made through an external search process.
