                            DATED 10TH OCTOBER 2003



The Board of Carbo plc announces that Klaus Kopnick will be stepping down from
the main board and from all operational duties within the Group with immediate
effect.

Mr Kopnick, who joined the Carbo group over 25 years ago, has decided that at
the age of 58 now is the best time to step down.  He has steered the German
Group through a difficult restructuring and now, as the Group enters a new
phase, Mr Kopnick and the Company have agreed that it is the right time for
management changes to occur in Germany.  The Board of Carbo wishes Mr Kopnick
well for the future.

Operational management in Germany is now the direct responsibility of Group
Chief Executive, Lars Nyqvist and Group Finance Director, Stuart Dootson.

The Board also announces that Mr Niklas Krook has joined the Company as Group
Marketing and Sales Manager.  He will be based in Germany with responsibility
for the international sales organisation.  Group Chief Executive Lars Nyqvist
commented "We were very lucky to recruit Niklas Krook and with his skills in the
sale and marketing of abrasives, I believe he will make a valuable contribution
to the restructuring of the Group."
