FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

14th March 2008

         Aga Foodservice Group plc announces new name for the company          

Following the successful disposal of its Foodservice business at the end of
2007, the Group is pleased to confirm the intended name for the business is Aga
Rangemaster Group plc.

The addition of Rangemaster to the Group's name reflects the remarkable success
of Rangemaster since 2002. The new name will be the umbrella for all the
Group's brands including Aga, Rangemaster, Falcon, Fired Earth, La Cornue,
Marvel and Divertimenti.

Commenting on the announcement, Chief Executive William McGrath said:

"Combining our two strongest brands to represent the Group sets the tone for
the future. Along with all our other outstanding brands, we see Aga and
Rangemaster as leading the sector for quality and style and providing growth
opportunities for the consumer business going forward."

The new name Aga Rangemaster Group is expected to be confirmed at the Annual
General Meeting in May and will be used thereafter.

Rangemaster background:

In 2002, the Rangemaster division set about reforming and reengineering every
aspect of the business starting with the sale of mass market Flavel Leisure.
This reduced production immediately from 160,000 units a year to under 45,000.
Using the proceeds of the sale and the benefit of reduced overheads, the
Rangemaster team set about investing in revamping the factory, building a
research and development centre, and relaunching Rangemaster at the premium end
of the market. Progress has been rapid since then and, in 2007, sales reached
76,000 and a business which was not profitable prior to 2002 made a 10% return
on sales.
