         IAN TURNER RETIRES FROM FULLER'S BOARD

At  a  Board meeting held yesterday it was noted that  on
the   31st   October   2000,  after  thirty-five   years'
association with Fuller, Smith & Turner P.L.C, Ian  Turner
will  retire  from  the  Fuller's Board,  having  been  a
director since 1968.

Having joined the Company in 1965, Ian worked at Fuller's
head  office, based in West London, in various  executive
roles,  including that of Company Secretary from 1975  to
1995.

For many years Fuller's has benefited from his work as  a
Pension Trustee, and we are delighted that he has  agreed
to stay on in this role after his retirement.

The Board and employees have benefited greatly from Ian's
insight  and  wealth of experience during his  time  with
Fuller's  and  all  wish  him  much  happiness   in   his
retirement.
