NEW MANAGING DIRECTOR APPOINTED AT UPD                                          
Clicks Group is pleased to announce the appointment of Vikesh Ramsunder as      
managing director of UPD, the group`s pharmaceutical wholesaler, with effect    
from 1 October 2010.                                                            
Vikesh (39) is currently head of logistics for Clicks. He replaces Lynda van    
Niekerk who has been head of UPD since 2005. She will remain with the group in a
consulting capacity for the next year.                                          
Clicks Group chief executive officer, David Kneale, said: "It is most pleasing  
to be able to make this key appointment from within the group. Vikesh has had   
extensive experience in retail and distribution centre operations in his 17     
years with the group. He has been head of logistics in Clicks since 2008 during 
which time the performance of the distribution centres has improved             
dramatically. Prior to this he was the project manager of the Clicks Blueprint  
programme which has been instrumental in enhancing operating efficiencies within
Clicks stores.                                                                  
"We thank Lynda for the role she has played in leading UPD during a period of   
unprecedented change following regulatory reform in the pharmaceutical          
wholesaling industry. She has positioned UPD as a market leader with a focused  
growth strategy. We are pleased to be retaining her services in a consulting    
capacity."
