(19 March, 2008) - Scott Brothers Ltd., the specialist distributor of the

Using his considerable experience, Duncan will support and extend the
expansion of the Scott Brothers Ltd customer base. By building on the
existing Scott Brothers working relationships with its network of retailers

pursue and promote new business opportunities and products. Duncan will
focus on increasing Scott Brothers\' sales activities with both existing and
new retailers, generating new business and securing mutually beneficial

potential.

take it forward and I am delighted that Scott Brothers has given me that
opportunity. I am determined to drive Scott Brothers Ltd success and it is
