11th May 2006

Severn Trent Plc announces today that Bob Davies has been appointed Chairman of Biffa Plc in preparation for the demerger of the Biffa waste management business in the UK by the end of the year.

Mr Davies, aged 57, recently stood down from Arriva plc after more than seven years as Chief Executive of the transport services group. He is a non-executive director of British Energy Group plc and Barratt Development PLC. He was previously Chief Executive of East Midlands Electricity Plc.

The Chairman of Severn Trent Plc, Sir John Egan, said:

'We are delighted Bob has agreed to become Chairman of Biffa Plc to help lead the business through the demerger process and into Biffa's new existence as a separate listed company in the FTSE 250.'

Bob Davies said:

'I very much look forward to working with the Biffa management team to develop the company's prominent position in the UK waste market.'
