John O'Kane appointed Director by Jarvis plc


Jarvis plc is pleased to announce the appointment of John O'Kane as a Director
of the Company. John will join the Board at the end of April and will replace
Alasdair Marnoch as Finance Director, assuming that role at the end of May 2006.
Alasdair will continue as Finance Director until the end of May to enable a
controlled handover of responsibilities.


The planned departure of Alasdair Marnoch was agreed at the time of his
appointment to Jarvis plc. Alasdair's remit was to oversee the financial
restructuring of the Group which was completed in the late summer of 2005. The
Board would like to take this opportunity to thank Alasdair for the work he has
undertaken since he joined the Group in February 2005.


John O'Kane joins from a brief period at Eco-Bat Technologies Limited, where he
was Group Finance Director. Previously, he was Group Finance Director of both
Peterhouse Group plc and Kelda Group plc. Aged 47, John is a Fellow of the
Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland and has previously held senior
management roles with ICI and Samsung Electronics in the UK and with KPMG in
South Africa.


Welcoming John to the Board, Executive Chairman Steve Norris said: "I am pleased
that we are now able to put in place another building block in the recovery of
the Jarvis Group.


"John will join Chief Operating Officer, Richard Entwistle, in our York head
office. John has exactly the sort of experience and track record the company
needs and we are delighted to welcome him. I would also like to thank Alasdair
who joined the Company at a challenging time and who made an outstanding
contribution to the successful completion of the restructuring last year."
