Mouchel plc - Directors Shareholding                          23 June 2003

Amended Announcement by Mouchel plc

DIRECTORS' INTERESTS IN SHARES OF MOUCHEL PLC

On 16 June 2003 the trustees of the Mouchel Employee Share Ownership Plan
established by deed on 19 October 1995 (the "Mouchel No. 1 ESOP") transferred
7,528 ordinary shares of Mouchel plc, representing 0.012% of the current issued
share capital, to employees who exercised options under the Mouchel Sharesave
Scheme. 5,348 shares were transferred at an exercise price of 19.25p per
ordinary share and 2,180 at an exercise price of 28.25p per ordinary share.

J. A. Harding and K. A. Young, executive directors of Mouchel plc, are potential
beneficiaries under the Mouchel No. 1 ESOP (together with all other employees of
the Mouchel group). They therefore ceased to be interested in the 7,528 ordinary
shares transferred by the Mouchel No. 1 ESOP. Following the transfer the Mouchel
No. 1 ESOP holds 9,273,152 ordinary shares.
