CHAMBERLIN & HILL PLC



20 September 2006



                     Chamberlin & Hill plc (the 'Company')

                      ANNOUNCEMENT OF PROPOSED MOVE TO AIM



Following the placing with institutional investors of the Bather family's
ordinary shares in the Company which was announced in December 2005 and the
subsequent changes in board composition, the Company is now entering a new
strategic era.



The directors therefore now believe that AIM is a more appropriate market for
the Company than the Official List of the UK Listing Authority (the 'Official
List') for the following reasons:



•   the Company is currently one of the smallest companies listed on the
    Official List;

•   the directors believe that the Company could attract more interest
    from investors on AIM since this market is designed for smaller companies,
    has specialist institutional investors, and allows private investors to take
    advantage of attractive tax benefits;

•   the Company's strategy may involve acquisitions and AIM's less
    restrictive regime will allow the Company to execute transactions both more
    quickly and more economically; and

•   the transfer to AIM is expected to reduce the ongoing costs of being a
    public company. The directors, however, do not envisage that there will be 
    any alteration to the standards of reporting and corporate governance which 
    the Company has maintained to date on the Official List.

Accordingly the Company announces that a circular will be posted to shareholders
today recommending the de-listing of the Company's ordinary shares from the
Official List and the cancellation of trading on the London Stock Exchange's
market for listed securities (together the 'De-Listing').  Subject to approval
of the De-Listing by shareholders at an EGM to be held on 23 October 2006 it is
proposed that an application will be made for the ordinary shares to be admitted
to trading on AIM. It is expected that the last day of dealings on the main
market will be 22 November 2006 and that trading on AIM will commence at 8.00
a.m. on 23 November 2006.



Tom Brown, Chairman, said: 'The board is of the opinion that the proposals are
in the best interests of the Company and the shareholders as a whole; we are
confident that it will allow us to capitalise on future opportunities more
rapidly and economically.'
