         Travis Perkins plc - Appointment of Wickes Chairman Designate

    

   Travis Perkins plc is pleased  to announce the appointment of  Christopher
   Rogers as Chairman Designate of Wickes.

   Travis Perkins announced at its interim results in July 2019 the intention
   to demerge the Wickes business. The Group updated on its positive progress
   in December  2019  and the  appointment  of Chris  as  Chairman  Designate
   represents another  milestone in  the process,  which is  on track  to  be
   completed in the second quarter of  2020.  Good progress is being made  on
   completing the Wickes Board.

   Chris is currently a Non-Executive Director of Travis Perkins plc and will
   bring his extensive  financial, operational and  retail experience to  the
   Wickes business as it becomes an independent listed company.

   It  is  intended  that  Chris  will   not  stand  for  re-election  as   a
   Non-Executive Director of Travis Perkins plc, stepping down following  the
   Group's AGM on 28 April 2020.
