                                   SThree plc

         Appointment of Employee Representative Non-Executive Director

    

   SThree, the international STEM specialist staffing business, is pleased to
   announce that Denise Collis has been appointed in the newly formed role of
   Employee  Representative  Non-Executive  Director,  with  effect  from   1
   December 2018.

    

   This appointment is an early adoption of recently announced changes to the
   UK Corporate Governance Code,  due to come into  effect in 2019-2020.  The
   update highlights the increasing  need to consider  the employee voice  at
   Board level as well as throughout  the business and the Code suggests,  as
   one option, a designated Non-Executive Director as a suitable way for  the
   Board to gather the views of  the workforce. This early appointment is  in
   line with SThree's best practice corporate governance aspiration, as  well
   as its culture of creating a positive and inclusive work environment which
   empowers its people.

    

   Denise joined the  Board in  July 2016 and  currently sits  on the  Audit,
   Nomination and Remuneration Committees, chairing the latter.

    

   There are  no additional  details relating  to the  appointments that  are
   required to be disclosed pursuant to paragraph 9.6.13 (1-6) of the Listing
   Rules.
