                       THE STANLEY GIBBONS GROUP LIMITED
                      ("STANLEY GIBBONS" or "THE COMPANY")

                                  (AIM: SGI.L)

The Board of Stanley Gibbons, the AIM quoted leading name in rare stamps and
collectibles, is delighted to announce the appointment of David Martin Bralsford
to the Company's Board of Directors ("the Board") as Non-Executive Chairman on
the 1st November 2007.

Martin, aged 59, is one of the Channel Islands' best known businessmen. He
brings with him extensive commercial experience and a demonstrable track record
across a wide range of activities.

He qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 1970, before obtaining a Masters
degree in Economics at the London Business School in 1974. In 1979 he became a
Fellow of the Association of Corporate Treasurers.
Martin is Chairman designate of Channel Islands based portfolio management,
stockbroking and funds business Collins Stewart (CI) Ltd, (subject to approval
of his appointment by the Jersey Financial Services Commission). He was formerly
Chief Executive of C.I. Traders Ltd, the largest corporate employer in the
Channel Islands, which was AIM quoted prior to its recent take-over by a private
equity consortium. He was previously Chief Executive of Le Riche Group Ltd,
before its acquisition by C.I.Traders in 2002, (after which he moved across to
run the larger group), and a former Group MD of Premier Brands Ltd.
Martin has also served as President of the Jersey Chamber of Commerce and as
Chairman of the Training and Employment Partnership in Jersey. His outside
interests include serving as a Board member of the Durrell Wildlife Conservation
Trust in Jersey and acting as an advisor to the National Motor Museum at
Beaulieu.

Mike Hall, Chief Executive of Stanley Gibbons, commented:

"I am delighted that Martin Bralsford, one of the Channel Islands' best known
and experienced businessmen, has joined Stanley Gibbons. The appointment of an
independent non-executive Chairman to our Board provides improved Corporate
Governance and comfort to shareholders. More importantly, I believe that
Martin's wealth of experience and belief in our strategy will have a positive
impact on the future profitability of the Group."
