Norman Blackwell (Lord Blackwell), Chairman, said, "Steve and Bruce have made valuable contributions to the development of Interserve and these appointments will allow the Group to benefit further from their abilities. I welcome them to the Board and look forward to working with them in their new roles."

The Board of Interserve Plc now comprises five executive directors and five non-executive directors including the Chairman. There is no information to be disclosed pursuant to Listing Rule 9.6.13R in respect of either Mr Dance or Mr Melizan.
