Directorate Changes

Appointment of Board Chair

Norcros plc, a market leading supplier of high quality and innovative bathroom
and kitchen products, announces the appointment of Steve Good as a
Non-Executive Director and Non-Executive Board Chair Designate, both with
effect from 1 July 2023.  At the conclusion of the Company's AGM on 26 July
2023 Steve will assume the role of Non-Executive Board Chair upon the
retirement of David McKeith, the current Acting Board Chair.

Steve Good is currently a non-executive director of Elementis plc, where he
chairs the remuneration committee, and was until very recently the
non-executive chair of Zotefoams plc and Devro plc.  He has previously served
as a non-executive director of Dialight plc.  In his executive career Steve
was chief executive of Low & Bonar plc between 2009 and 2014, where he had
previously held various senior roles since 2004.

David McKeith, Acting Board Chair of Norcros plc, commented:

"Norcros welcomes Steve Good as a Non-Executive Director and Board Chair
Designate.  He has been appointed after an extensive and thorough recruitment
process for his proven business leadership credentials and broad range of
experience.  The Company, having now been successful in recruiting a new
Board Chair following the tragic death of Gary Kennedy earlier this year, is
pleased to confirm that David McKeith will continue to act as Board Chair
until our AGM and then retire from the Board as planned at its conclusion."

Steve Good commented:

"I am delighted to be joining the Board of Norcros plc. The strength of the
Board, quality of the leadership team and market leading brands underpinning a
dynamic business model auger well for the Company's continuing successful
growth. I am excited to be part of the journey."

Change of Senior Independent Director

Norcros plc also announces that with effect from 1 July 2023 David McKeith
will cease to be Senior Independent Director and Alison Littley, a current
Non-Executive Director of the Company, will take on that role.
