                     Appointment of Non-Executive Director


OMG plc, Oxford Metrics Group, the technology group providing image
understanding products for the entertainment, defence, life science and
engineering industries, announces the appointment of Jonathon Reeve as a
Non-Executive Director with immediate effect.  With more than 35 years'
experience in the Royal Navy, Jonathon will provide OMG with an in-depth
understanding of the technological demands and procurement requirements for the
defence industry, a key area of strategic focus for the Group.

Jonathon Reeve, aged 57, began his career in the Royal Navy in 1967.  After
obtaining an MA in Engineering at St Catharine's College Cambridge he qualified
as a nuclear submarine engineer in the Royal Navy and served in HM Submarines
Renown and Dreadnought.  Between 1994 and 1997 he worked in a variety of posts
in support of the nuclear submarine flotilla, one of which was as the Head of
Integrated Logistic Support for the Navy.

Jonathon became the Commander of Plymouth Naval Base in 1998, where for two
years he acted as Chief Executive for the industrial port and was responsible
for all aspects of support for the ships and submarines based in Plymouth.
Promoted to Rear Admiral in 2000 he became Change Director at Fleet Headquarters
where he was responsible for a major re-organisation of the headquarters.

In December 2000 he set up the new Warship Support Agency and from 2001 until
2004 he was Chief Operating Officer of the Royal Navy's support organisation and
Navy Board Member for Logistics. In this post he was responsible for all aspects
of support to the Royal Navy worldwide as well as for the management and
leadership of the Ministry of Defence's Nuclear Accident Response Organisation.

Since he retired from the Royal Navy in late 2004 he has been working as an
independent consultant assisting a number of industrial companies to increase
their understanding and level of business in the defence and nuclear fields.

Jonathon was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath (CB) in 2003 and is
a Chartered Engineer and a Fellow of the Institution of Electrical Engineers.

There are no matters to be disclosed under paragraph (g) of Schedule 2 of the
AIM Rules, save that Jonathon is a director of Virtual Properties Limited.

Commenting on the appointment, Nick Bolton, Chief Executive, said:

'We are delighted that Jonathon has joined our Board.  His extensive experience
in the defence industry will help further our position within this market, as
well as enhancing the Board as we seek to drive OMG's growth as a market leader
in image understanding products.  Building on our previously announced QinetiQ
project last year and success at Farnborough Airshow this year, Jonathon joins
the Company at an exciting time of growth.'
