          SThree plc 
 
          ("SThree" or the "Group") 
 
       Appointment of Employee Representative Non-Executive Director 
 
  SThree, the international STEM specialist staffing business, is pleased to 
  announce that Denise Collis has been appointed in the newly formed role of 
 Employee Representative Non-Executive Director, with effect from 1 December 
                     2018. 
 
  This appointment is an early adoption of recently announced changes to the 
     UK Corporate Governance Code, due to come into effect in 2019-2020. The 
     update highlights the increasing need to consider the employee voice at 
Board level as well as throughout the business and the Code suggests, as one 
 option, a designated Non-Executive Director as a suitable way for the Board 
to gather the views of the workforce. This early appointment is in line with 
      SThree's best practice corporate governance aspiration, as well as its 
culture of creating a positive and inclusive work environment which empowers 
                     its people. 
 
       Denise joined the Board in July 2016 and currently sits on the Audit, 
                Nomination and Remuneration Committees, chairing the latter. 
 
       There are no additional details relating to the appointments that are 
  required to be disclosed pursuant to paragraph 9.6.13 (1-6) of the Listing 
                     Rules.
