                                  BOARD CHANGE


Torex Retail Plc (the 'Group'), the leading provider of IT solutions to major
European retailers, is pleased to announce that following a review of the
development of the Group's Retail Solutions operations in Continental Europe and
beyond, Group CTO Juergen Heck is to take an operationally important dual role.
Firstly, in his capacity as Group CTO Mr Heck will concentrate on the ongoing
technical development and innovative expansion of the Group's java-based LUCAS
product in the UK, the Continent and further new markets. His remit will also
include additional product R&D initiatives.


Secondly, Mr Heck will take the role of Chairman of the Torex Retail Solutions
GmbH operations in Europe in order to assist in the growth of that business of
which he was formerly CEO. In the light of these demanding responsibilities Mr
Heck has indicated his wish to step down from the Plc executive board with
immediate effect, and the Board, recognising the operational demands which the
dual role will make, has accepted his resignation.


Mr Heck continues to hold a 3.14% stake in Torex Retail Plc.
