DIRECTORATE CHANGE

The Board of Stanley Gibbons announces that Mark Henley will be stepping down as Group Finance Director with effect from 4 November 2011 to pursue other interests. Mark will continue to work for the Company until end March 2012 to ensure a smooth handover of his duties. The Board thanks Mark for his contribution over the last four years and wishes him every success in the future.

Following an internal reorganisation, the Group's Finance function will now be managed from the Group's corporate head office in Jersey. Donal Duff, currently Chief Operating Officer, will assume responsibility for this function. Donal is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland and an Associate Member of the Institute of Corporate Treasurers in the UK. He qualified in 1991 with Coopers & Lybrand in Dublin and in 1996 he joined Le Riche Group Limited, a listed company, where he held a number of senior financial roles until 2002. From 2002 to 2007 he was Director of Finance at C.I. Traders Limited, then an AIM listed company and the largest commercial employer in the Channel Islands, until its acquisition by a private equity consortium. Donal was appointed to the Stanley Gibbons Board on 7 August 2009 and is also a Non-Executive Director of Jersey Post International Limited.

Michael Hall, Chief Executive, said:

'This change represents an increased management focus in Jersey and follows our recent move to larger premises there. Donal is a very experienced accountant and is well qualified to take responsibility for the Group's finance function. Additionally the Board has three other continuing members with substantial financial experience and professional accounting qualifications.'
