Directorate Change

Date: May 28 2010

                 Anthony Fuller to retire from Fuller's Board                  

           Sir James Fuller Bt appointed as a Non Executive Director           

Fuller, Smith & Turner P.L.C. ("Fuller's"), London's last remaining traditional
brewer, today announces that Anthony Fuller CBE, President and Non Executive
Director, will retire from the Board at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting
on 23 July 2010, although he will continue as President.

Anthony Fuller, the great-great-great grandson of John Fuller, who bought into
the brewery in 1829, joined the business in 1963 following service in The Life
Guards. Anthony was appointed a Director of the company in 1967, and became
Chairman in 1982, a position he held for 25 years.

Anthony has been instrumental in all the major developments of the Company over
the last 47 years, including the acquisition of 44 pubs from Allied Domecq in
1990 and of George Gale & Co Ltd in 2005. Both deals heralded a significant
change in the Company's scale.

In the 1970s, when the industry was turning as one to keg bitter, Anthony and
his fellow Directors showed the vision and wisdom to concentrate on cask beer,
enthused by the creation of the Campaign for Real Ale. This decision laid the
foundations for the Company as it is today.

As Chairman of the Brewer's Society from 1986-1989, Anthony led the industry
through the Monopolies and Mergers Commission inquiry that lead to the `Beer
Orders' which changed the face of the brewing industry forever. His services to
brewing, and charitable work, earned him the CBE in 1990.

Michael Turner, Chairman of Fuller's, said: "Anthony's contribution to the
business is enormous. At times when the industry needed a strong leader to put
its case forward, Anthony was that leader. He presided over a period of
unprecedented growth for the Company, and his knowledge, insight and experience
will be greatly missed by everyone involved with Fuller's."

"I am sure that all of the Directors, staff and shareholders would like to join
me in wishing him a very happy and well-earned retirement."

The company also announces that Sir James Fuller Bt will join the Board as a
Non Executive Director, with effect from 1 June 2010.

Since leaving the army, Sir James, a seventh-generation Fuller, has developed
his own thriving business in Wiltshire.

Michael Turner commented: "We are delighted that James is joining the Board,
given the importance of family shareholders to the Company. We are very much
looking forward to James' contribution at Board meetings, bringing as he does
experience both from within and outside the industry."

There are no further details required to be disclosed about Sir James under
paragraphs 9.6.13 (2) to (6) of the Listing Rules.
