Mouchel plc - Directors Shareholding - Replacement 23 June 2003

Announcement by Mouchel plc



The following replaces the Director Shareholding announcement released on 16
June 2003 at 16:01 under RNS number 3826M.

In the last sentence of the announcement the number of ordinary shares held by
the QUEST following the transfer was stated to be 9,280,040. The number should
be 489,556 ordinary shares. All other details remain unchanged, and the full
amended text appears below:-



DIRECTORS' INTERESTS IN SHARES OF MOUCHEL PLC

On 9 June 2003 the trustees of the Mouchel Qualifying Employee Share Ownership
Trust established by deed on 11 July 2002 (the "Mouchel QUEST") transferred 640
ordinary shares of Mouchel plc, representing 0.001% of the current issued share
capital, to employees who exercised options under the Mouchel Sharesave Scheme
at an exercise price of 100p per ordinary share.

J. A. Harding and K. A. Young, executive directors of Mouchel plc, are potential
beneficiaries under the Mouchel QUEST (together with all other employees of the
Mouchel group). They therefore ceased to be interested in the 640 ordinary
shares transferred by the Mouchel QUEST. Following the transfer the Mouchel
QUEST holds 489,556 ordinary shares.



R. H. Hart (Mrs)

Company Secretary
