SWP Group plc ("SWP" or the "Company") 
 
Appointment of Director 
 
The Company is pleased to announce today the appointment of Mr Colin Stott to the Board of SWP as Director effective
immediately. 
 
Colin is an executive Director and is the Managing Director of the Crescent, DRC and Ulva businesses. He completed his
engineering apprenticeship with BICC and has twenty years international general management experience with companies
including GEC Alsthom, Bunzl/Filtrona and in private equity. He has operated from bases in the UK, USA and Canada. 
 
Colin joined SWP as a consultant on the 1st October 2006 and initially spent 18 months restructuring, modernising and
developing the DRC Polymer and Crescent of Cambridge businesses before assuming control over these operations as Managing
Director and also the newly acquired Ulva brand based in Telford, Shropshire. More recently he has developed a cohesive
international plan for the globalisation of Ulva's oil, gas and petrochemical business throughout Asia, Europe, United

growth and increased profitability.
