Board.”

Dunsmore.

Alastair Kerr commented: “I have thoroughly enjoyed my six years with
Fuller’s, but feel the time has come for a new person to bring fresh ideas
and thinking to the Board. Fuller’s has an excellent management team and I
shall continue to follow closely the future of this great business as a
shareholder.”

Fuller’s Chairman, Michael Turner, said: “I would like to thank Alastair
for his hard work and dedication. His wide experience in retail has been of
immense value. He has been an excellent advisor and spent much time mentoring
our senior team.

“I am delighted to welcome Peter – he is a true industry guru and I am
excited by the expertise and knowledge he brings with him. He has a wide
breadth of experience in a range of other industries too, which will add
further depth to our Board. I think he will challenge the business and our
senior team – which will help take Fuller’s on to future growth and
success.”
