BOARD APPOINTMENTS

Record plc ("Record" or the "Company"), the specialist currency manager, announces today the appointment of James Wood-Collins as Chief Executive Officer, taking on this position from Neil Record, who has been both Chairman and CEO since the IPO in 2007.

Mr. Record will remain as Chairman, in an executive position to which he will commit four days a week. He will continue to play an active role with clients, investment consultants and other external parties, as well as maintaining his involvement with Record's products and product development.

Paul Sheriff will assume the position of Chief Operating Officer in addition to that of Chief Financial Officer, formalising a position he has fulfilled since August 2009.

Leslie Hill will re-assume responsibility for leadership of the client team.

All these appointments are effective from 1 October 2010.

Mr. Wood-Collins joined Record from J.P. Morgan Cazenove in 2008, and has led Record's client team since December 2009. The appointment of Mr. Wood-Collins represents the completion of the intention first envisaged at the time of the Company's IPO, and follows a process undertaken by the Nominations Committee, which was announced with the Company's final results on 15 June 2010.

Commenting on today's appointments, Neil Record said: "One of the key reasons for undertaking the IPO in 2007 was to attract and retain new senior employees, in order to allow the Company to take advantage of continued opportunities for growth. I am delighted that we have been able to attract executives of the calibre of James and Paul, and today's appointments confirm the high regard in which the Board holds both of them. I am fully confident in the day-to-day leadership that James and his team will bring to the firm, and I look forward to being able to maintain my energetic focus on engaging with our clients and their consultants, and representing Record."

James Wood-Collins commented: "I am honoured and excited to have the opportunity to lead Record's continued development. We have a stimulating mix of challenges and opportunities to address, and I look forward to working closely with Neil, Paul and all my colleagues on the Board and throughout Record to make the most of the unique position we have in the currency management market."
