                                 Senior plc
                                      
                       Statement re: share price rise


The Board of Senior plc ('Senior' or 'the Company') notes the recent rise  in
the  Company's share price.  Following the announcement of a strategic review
on  3  December  1999,  the  Company has received  a  number  of  preliminary
approaches  from interested parties, including from certain of the  executive
directors  of  Senior,  concerning a possible offer  for  the  Company.   Any
discussions  following such approaches are at a very early  stage  and  hence
there  can  be  no  certainty  that any transaction  will  result.   A 
further announcement will be made in due course.
