                            SENIOR MANAGEMENT CHANGE

Vodafone Group Plc today announces that Bill Morrow has decided to leave the
business to return to the US for family reasons. Bill Morrow has held a number
of senior executive roles in the Vodafone Group over the last 10 years,
including Chief Executive of Vodafone UK and most recently President of Vodafone
Japan. In this role he led the sale of Vodafone's business in Japan to Softbank
earlier this year. He will leave Vodafone at the end of this month.

Bill Morrow will be succeeded, on an interim basis, by Fritz Joussen currently
Chief Executive of Vodafone's business in Germany. An international search for a
permanent successor for Bill Morrow has started but in the meantime the Chief
Executive, Arun Sarin, will be working closely with Fritz Joussen to deliver on
the revenue generation and cost reduction strategy for the European region.

Commenting on Bill Morrow's decision, Arun Sarin said 'We are sorry that Bill
has had to make this decision so shortly after announcing our new organisational
structure. He has made an outstanding contribution to the success of Vodafone
over the last 10 years and has taken on some of the most challenging roles in
the Group and has always delivered. He has also been a committed member of my
Executive team. Whilst the timing is regrettable, I respect the decision he has
made to return to the US to be with his family.'

Bill Morrow said: 'I have thoroughly enjoyed serving our customers and working
with our employees over the past decade. I am confident about the prospects for
Vodafone going forward and am excited about the plans Arun has put in place for
the business. It is only after a great deal of careful consideration and with
deep regret that I must urgently leave Europe and Vodafone to support my family
in our home state of California. Having worked closely with Arun over many
years, I will miss working with him and I wish nothing but great success for him
and my fellow executive committee members.'
