coffeeheaven international plc
('coffeeheaven' or the 'Company')

Appointment of Non-Executive Director

coffeeheaven is pleased to announce the appointment of Bill Currie, aged 43, as
a non-executive Director to the Board of coffeeheaven international plc.

Formerly Director of Research at BZW, where for several years he was rated
number one Food Retail Analyst in Institutional surveys, Bill later joined
Charterhouse Securities as Joint Managing Director.

Over the years Bill has been involved in numerous corporate transactions. He has
acted as Broker or Financial Advisor to many well-known retail businesses
including Tesco, Iceland, Somerfield, T&S Stores, Goldsmiths, Homestyle, Wm
Morrison, Safeway, Ted Baker, and TJ Hughes.

After leaving Charterhouse in 1998, Bill set up William Currie Investments, a
successful investment vehicle specialising in the retail sector. A more recent
investment includes The Fragrance Shop grown from one store in 1998 to currently
around 83 stores. In 2004 The Fragrance Shop was sold to the Peacock Group.

Richard Worthington, Executive Chairman, commented:

'We are delighted that Bill has agreed to join the Board of coffeeheaven. His
wealth of retail experience and successful record in the development of retail
concepts, will be of immense value to coffeeheaven as we move into our next
phase of growth'.

William Christopher Currie currently holds the following directorships: The
Fragrance Shop Limited, William Currie Group Limited, William Currie Investments
Limited and Bill Currie Consultants Limited. Within the last five years, Bill
Currie has been a director of Together Clothing Limited and Brand New Broom
Limited.

William Currie currently holds 10,000,000 ordinary shares in coffeeheaven, which
represents 9.41% of the Company's issued share capital.

A good start to the New Year for all COH fans.

Interesting to note that Willaim Currie has a holding of 9% of company shares, he obviously saw potential in COH, wonder if this is a master stroke bringing him in as a director...

Yes Richie an excellent start to the year...

I haven't done much research into Mr Currie's background but the RNS released regarding his appointment is impressive. I see he was the number one food retail analyst at BZW for a long period and he has acted as a broker/advisor to several well known companies including Tesco. If he is prepared to stump up a million quid for 10% of the business who are we to argue? All good stuff I think. Now how is RW going to spend that spare cash that must be burning a hole in his pocket? Standby for more news.

If you can take a look at iii (ample) website as there is a poster called kimboy who posts some very good stuff regarding projected figures etc... IMHO.

Update on today's RNS Re: Bonds Buy Back:

LONDON (AFX) - Coffeeheaven International PLC said it will save over 260,000 stg of annual interest charges following tha purchase and cancellation of an outstanding bond by the group's Polish subsidiary CHI Polska SA (CHIP).

Coffeeheaven said CHIP paid a total of about 295,000 stg to buy and cancel the bond, adding it will result in annual interest and other savings to the group of some 260,000 stg plus 11.2 pct of CHIP's annual pretax profits payable, where appropriate, as additional interest.

The move completes repayment of all group debt.

I've looked at the iii website and the post you refer to Adie. He seems to talk sense (looked through his other posts also). For the year ended Mar 07, which is what he is talking about, I think he is being a bit pessimistic. My fag packet calcs indicate turnover closer to 8.5 million for 06/07 but his general thoughts seem sound and he is careful to qualify his figures reference the spending of the 3 million cash! Just seen the offer up at 18p!!

Yes all time high now, the RNS news has gone down well, you have to give credit to RW and his team... I was very impressed at AGM they are level headed and steering the company the right way...

New brokers note (well, Dec 05) posted on COH website from Fyshe Horton. Indicates that brokers have had a meeting with COH management. Recommends a buy at 13.5p!!!!

erm they missed the boat, lol... think Mr Currie has been building his stake before the RNS announcement...

Actually it would funny if we get an announcement reference the 3 million to spend in the next couple of weeks soon after Mr Currie joins the board....

17p bid now. Market seems to have reacted positively to the appointment of Bill Currie & the debt payoff.
UC.

Chart breakout!!!

Can you expand on that comment britshare, can you post chart to confirm this... appreciate your views...

The last 2-year chart I'm looking at is showing the intraday buying highs of 18p (1.8 before the split). The 16.5p resistance has been broken within the last 2 days and the underlaying uptrend has been confirmed. If we can close at 18p mid today, I expect a surge in the shareprice in the short term carried by the increased volumes, as the price is ready to break out to an all time high!
Watch this space!

Many thanks britshare, I have been watching for 2 years and am very pleased... If you've watched this board before you will know I went to the AGM and was very impressed with what I saw...
