Appointment of Independent Non-Executive Director

As part of the Board's plan for Non-Executive Director succession, Gillian
Watson has been appointed as Independent Non-Executive Director and will join
the Board on 9 October 2023.

Gillian has more than 30 years' executive and non-executive experience across
a range of sectors and geographies. She is an Independent Non-Executive
Director at Vidrala, S.A. and Scottish Friendly Mutual Insurance as well as
Non-Executive Chair of Statera Energy, char.gy and DC 25 investment Fund.
 Previously, Gillian's executive career was spent in corporate finance
advisory, business strategy and energy.

Upon appointment, Gillian will serve as a member of the Board's Audit,
Nomination and Remuneration Committees.

Gillian will initially join the Board on 9 October 2023 as a Non-Executive
Director. She will take on the role of Senior Independent Director on 31
October 2023, when John Worby stands down from that role and from the Board
after nearly nine years at the Company.

Tim Jones, Chairman, commented:

"On behalf of the Board, I am delighted to welcome Gillian to Carr's.
Gillian's  wealth of executive and non-executive experience will be hugely
beneficial to the Board as we continue to develop the Speciality Agriculture
division and optimise the potential of the Engineering division. There is much
to be done and I very much look forward to working with Gillian.

"I would also like to thank John for his commitment and support to the
business over the years.  He has made a very significant contribution to the
Board and the Company and he leaves us with our sincerest gratitude and
appreciation."

There is no additional information required to be disclosed pursuant to
Listing Rule 9.6.13 in relation to the appointment of Gillian Watson to the
Board.
