Director Shareholding

Fuller,Smith&Turner PLC
4 January 2002

Fuller, Smith & Turner P.L.C. ('Fuller's' or the 'Company')

Long Term Investment Plan ('LTIP')

Directors' interests in ordinary shares of the Company

Fuller's granted initial awards to directors and employees under its LTIP on
23 December 1998.  These awards included both listed 'A' ordinary shares of £
1.00 each and unquoted 'B' ordinary shares of 10p each.  On 23 May 2001, the
Company's Remuneration Committee determined that in accordance with the
parameters of the Plan 45 per cent of the initial awards would be vested in
those employees entitled.

Under the rules of the LTIP the shares allocated to directors and employees
vest today, 4 January 2002.  To facilitate the financing of the resultant tax
and National Insurance liabilities, each allottee has sold in the market a
proportion of the 'A' ordinary shares so awarded today at 520p per 'A'
ordinary share.  In accordance with the terms of the LTIP, where the resultant
shares have been re-deposited with the LTIP a further matching award has been
granted.

The table below sets out the entitlements of the following directors of the
Company, as a consequence of today's vest, match and sale.
