Senior reorganises management structure to reflect new strategic priorities


Senior  plc  today announced a new slimmed-down management structure to 
reflect its  changed  strategic priorities over the next twelve months.  The 
move  will reduce the Group's cost base by more than £2 million a year from
2000 onwards.

Since  the  beginning of 1997, Senior has undergone significant
transformation.  Non-core  businesses  have been sold as the Group has focused
entirely  on  its higher  margin, higher growth Flexonics Division, which has
been expanded  by  a number of significant acquisitions.  Last year Senior
spent £68 million on  nine businesses  and  purchases totalling a further £90
million have  been  completed this  year,  including  the aerospace ducting
division of  Cork  Industries  for approximately  £52  million in September. 
In the first  half  of  1999,  Senior Flexonics'  three  operating  divisions,
Aerospace, Automotive  and  Specialised Industrial, accounted respectively for
30.6%, 33.9% and 35.5% of total turnover.

The  Group's strategic priority over the next twelve months is clearly to 
focus its management resources on its existing businesses and recent 
acquisitions,  to ensure  they contribute fully to Senior's future growth
potential.  The  Group's ongoing acquisition programme will correspondingly be
substantially reduced from its recent high levels.

The  Group's  management structure is being changed to reflect this  new 
focus.  Bill  Kowal,  Chief  Operating  Officer,  becomes  Acting  Division 
Director  - Aerospace,  and  will concentrate on the Group's Aerospace
activities  in  North America  and  Europe.   This Division is well placed to
take  advantage  of  the continuing  buoyancy  in the regional jet, corporate
jet  and  commercial  space markets.  Mike  Sheppard,  Division Director - 
Automotive,  and  Carl  Francis, Division Director - Specialised Industrial,
will report directly to Group  Chief Executive Andrew Parrish.

Glenn  Timms,  Director  -  Corporate Development, is  leaving  the  Group, 
and responsibility  for  managing  the search for  and  negotiation  of
acquisition opportunities will be absorbed within the divisions.

In order to implement this reorganisation, the Group will take a total charge
of not more than £1 million this year.

Senior's Group Chief Executive Andrew Parrish commented:

'Senior  has  spent  almost £160 million on 13 acquisitions over  the  past 
two years.   These  deals have made a significant contribution to the
transformation of  the  Group,  which  is  completely focused on Flexonics.  
Now  we  need  to concentrate  our  resources  on these acquisitions,  as 
well  as  our  existing businesses, to ensure they contribute fully to
Senior's future growth potential, our confidence in which remains strong.'

'I  should like to thank Glenn Timms for all his efforts on Senior's behalf
over the  last two and a half years and to express the Board's appreciation 
for  the major  contribution he has made to the rapid development of Senior 
during  this period.'

Senior  will announce a pre-closed period update for the year ending 31
December 1999 on 11 January 2000.
