Press Release                                                     16 June 2006



                                  Cashbox plc

                          ("Cashbox" or "the Company")


                             Contract with Wadworth


Cashbox plc (AIM:CBOX), the independent ATM deployer and operator, announces
that it has signed a contract to be the exclusive supplier of ATMs for the pub
estate of Wadworth and Company Ltd ("Wadworth").



Following a successful six month trial in Oxfordshire, Cashbox will now begin
installing ATMs under the Company's Placement Model throughout Wadworth's
managed estate of 40 premises.  The first machine will be installed in the next
fortnight and the full roll-out is expected to be completed in two months.
Cashbox will also be available for Wadworth's 218 tenanted locations and will be
negotiating with each location on a one-by-one basis.



Under the Placement Model, Cashbox retains ownership of the ATM, providing it
for the Merchant's use. Cashbox retains a proportion of the gross Convenience
Fee while the site owner takes responsibility for cash provision, cash
replenishment (from their takings) and telecommunications.



Commenting on the agreement, Jo Skuse, Machine Controller of Wadworth, said: "
Following a favourable trial of the Cashbox ATM programme Wadworth are pleased
to confirm that we have now signed an ongoing contract for Cashbox to supply
ATMs to our pub estate. We have been impressed with the service we have received
to date from Cashbox and are looking forward to a long and mutually beneficial
business relationship."



Carl Thomas, Chief Executive of Cashbox plc, said: "We are delighted to have
formed this relationship with Wadworth and look forward to working with the
company going forward.  We believe our free placement of ATMs not only delivers
increased footfall to the pubs themselves but they increase customer retention
and cash spend at the bar.  There continues to be a significant and growing
demand for convenient cash and Cashbox has a strong pipeline of future ATM
installations."

Notes to editors



Cashbox plc

Cashbox is a leading independent ATM deployer (IAD) with an estate of over 1,000
ATMs in locations around the UK.  The Company began trading in September 2003
and was established by brothers Carl and Matt Thomas.  Cashbox installs and
operates an estate of ATMs, typically on five to seven year contracts, at sites
throughout the UK where there is a demand for cash withdrawal services and where
customers are willing to pay a convenience fee.



Cashbox was granted membership of LINK in March 2004, allowing Cashbox to
incorporate its ATMs in the LINK network.  Cashbox also has a Bank of England
settlement account and became the first IAD in the UK to become completely
compliant with the Triple DES security standard in June 2004.



Cashbox's sales strategy is based on selecting amongst three models to maximise
the profit potential of each ATM site - the Sale Model, the Placement Model and
the Fully Managed Model.  The Company intends that the majority of new
installations will use the Placement Model, whereby the ATM is purchased by
Cashbox under lease hire, placed with the merchant and replenished by the
merchant, eliminating the need for third party cash handling costs.



The Company listed on AIM in March 2006.



Wadworth and Company Ltd

Founded in 1875, Wadworth and Company Limited, of Devizes in Wiltshire, is a
