The Board of Brightview plc, ("the Company"), is pleased to announce the
appointment of David Philip Laurie as a Non-Executive Director of the Company
with effect from 6 November 2007.


Mr. Laurie, aged 43, founded the Brightview Group Limited, a leading UK Internet
Service Provider and was the Chief Executive Officer of this business until the
completion of its disposal by Brightview plc to British Telecommunications plc
("BT") on 31 July 2007. Upon completion, Mr. Laurie resigned as a director of
the Company and of Brightview Group Limited and entered into a service contract
with BT under which he has provided consultancy services for a limited period in
order to ensure a smooth transition. This handover period has now been completed
and accordingly, Mr. Laurie is rejoining Brightview plc in order to assist the
Board in evaluating potential acquisitions.



Charles Fairbairn, Chairman of Brightview, said:  "We are delighted to welcome
David back to the Board after the successful completion of the sale to BT of the
ISP business he founded. We look forward to working with him in the
