Appointment of Sustainability & Development Director - 22 April 2009

Gareth will be responsible for the delivery of training, communications, environment and quality and as such will focus on compliance of our processes and procedures working closely with Alan Stewart. Gareth will also have full responsibility for the Corby Training Centre and for ensuring that we utilise our market intelligence, developing our products to meet customer needs.

Gareth Spinner, Freedom Sustainability and Development Director says: “Our business is growing dramatically. In order to meet further challenges over the next five years and deliver potential, we must invest in developing our people and increasing our apprenticeships, hence the launch of the Corby Training Centre.

As a much larger business our shareholders

and customers have much higher expectations and we must respond to these in terms of our corporate governance, relating to environment, community investment, and quality. This year we have participated in the Business in the Community corporate responsibility survey which will help us to benchmark our current performance and achieve further success. We face the added challenges of good governance of the business and compliance with our procedures. Spice plc are continuously growing and being listed on the FTSE brings added challenges for us."
