                      RE ORGANISATION OF CRAWFORD COLLETS


The 600 Group announced today that it is transferring Crawford Collets'
production of collet products from Witney,Oxfordshire to the Pratt Burnerd
International site in Halifax.  600 Group currently has two factories making
very high precision mechanical components and accessories for the machine tool
industry.  The intention is to create a centre of excellence on one site in an
area where there is a strong engineering heritage.



The planned move will cost approximately £0.5m and the combination of both
operations will show a significant cost saving and will free up the Group's site
at Witney.  Crawford Collets currently employs 77 people.



Commenting, Tony Sweeten, Group Chief Executive of The 600 Group said:



"By transferring production from Witney to Halifax we will have greater
economies of scale and will become a stronger player in the high precision
mechanical components and accessories market."
