KELLER BOARD CHANGE

Keller Group plc ("Keller" or "the Company"), the international ground engineering specialist, announces that at its forthcoming Annual General Meeting, Mr Bob Rubright will be standing down as a Director of the Company.

Bob joined Keller with the Hayward Baker acquisition in 1984 and, after becoming Managing Director of Keller North America, he joined the Board in 2003.

He will be succeeded as Managing Director of Keller North America by Mr John Rubright, but will not be replaced on the Board.    John has been with the Group since 1986.   He is President of Hayward Baker, which now makes up over 50% of the Group's North American business, and is a member of the Group Executive Committee. 

As part of Bob's planned retirement from Keller, he has agreed to remain involved in the Group's North American business on a part-time basis for a period of time after he stands down from the Board.

Accordingly, the resolution to re-elect Bob Rubright as a Director at the 2013 Annual General Meeting, as set out in the notice of that meeting, will be withdrawn.

Commenting today, Mr Roy Franklin, Chairman of Keller, said:

"We are indebted to Bob for his enormous contribution to the Group and I am delighted that we will have continued access to his wisdom and experience in the medium term."
