Zenova Group PLC

("Zenova", the "Company" or the "Group")

Zenova FP Paint supplied to the NHS for the 3Ts (Trauma, Teaching and Tertiary
care) redevelopment project at the Royal Sussex County site, Brighton as
specified by BDP Architects and Laing O'Rourke Contractors on behalf of the
NHS

 

Zenova Group PLC (AIM: ZED), a provider of fire safety and heat management
technology solutions, is pleased to announce that it has been specified by BDP
Architects, one of the largest architecture firms in the United Kingdom, and
Laing O'Rourke, the largest privately owned construction company in the United
Kingdom, to supply Zenova FP Paint within the main entrance facade as part of
the  NHS's 3Ts redevelopment project at the Royal Sussex County site,
Brighton.

This is a significant vote of confidence in the quality, reliability,
durability and sustainability of Zenova's technology solutions by two of the
largest firms in the United Kingdom's construction sector and Zenova looks
forward to a long and sustained period of assisting both BDP Architects and
Laing O'Rourke with their future projects.

There are encouraging signs for further NHS Projects. In addition, Zenova has
completed the first phase of a pilot project at the NHS Epsom and St Helier
University Hospitals Trust.

The pilot project has ascertained the benefits of using both Zenova IP and IR
to improve insulation not only on the building fabric, but mechanical pipes,
storage tanks and ducts. A better than 30% improvement in the insulation of
hot water pipes thereby conserving energy was achieved. As a result further
trials are being requested in the use of Zenova's IP and IR on other surfaces
to ascertain the levels of likely energy saving and cost reduction as a
result.

Commenting on the versatility and dependability of Zenova's fire safety and
heat management technology solutions, Darren Magee, Estates & Facilities
Director stated how he has been impressed by "the simplicity, longevity, fire
protection, insulation & mould prevention characteristics of the coating
technology" going on to state that the usage of these solutions are
"significantly beneficial."

Commenting on being specified by BDP Architects and Laing O'Rourke
Contractors, Tony Crawley, CEO of Zenova Group PLC, said: "Being specified by
BDP Architects and Laing O'Rourke, to supply Zenova FP Paint to the NHS's 3Ts
redevelopment project at the Royal Sussex County site in Brighton, is further
evidence of the quality and growing reputation of Zenova's solutions for
significant customers, and I look forward to seeing our solutions continuing
to benefit these and other organizations.

The largest of these is the NHS, which, as we are all aware of, needs reform
and positive change. Part of this is the need to reduce operating costs
without compromising service or safety. I believe that Zenova is well
positioned to assist this national institution in its efforts to reduce
significant energy costs, and we are very proud to be able to offer technology
that will make a difference without compromising on safety."

About the NHS's 3Ts redevelopment project at the Royal Sussex County site,
Brighton

The 3Ts Redevelopment is replacing all the buildings on the front half of the
Royal Sussex County Hospital. In their place will be two brand new clinical
buildings and a much-needed service and logistics yard. The project is also
providing a helideck for air ambulances on top of the Thomas Kemp Tower, which
is at the heart of the hospital. From there the most severely injured and
unwell patients can be taken directly to A&E via a dedicated lift.

When complete, the new buildings will provide spacious, well-resourced and
modern facilities for patients and staff in more than 40 wards and
departments. It will also have replaced the oldest acute ward building in the
NHS, the Barry Building, which has cared for patients since 1828.
