Description

1.  Press release dated May 14, 2003  -  AGM Statement

                                                                     14 May 2003


                         BUNZL ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING


In a statement  at today's AGM,  Anthony  Habgood,  Chairman of Bunzl plc,  said
that,  in what  continues to be a tough  economic  environment  internationally,
current  trading remains  resilient.  He indicated that robust volume growth was
continuing in Bunzl's major  businesses and that, while the general state of the
global  economy  made the  future  trends of pricing  uncertain,  prices of many
petrochemical  based  products,  particularly  in the US, had risen in March and
April from very low levels at the start of the year.  He went on to say that the
volatility  and  weakness  of the dollar  compared to the first half of 2002 was
influencing the sterling translation of trading results.

He reiterated  the statement  made at the time of the  announcement  of the 2002
results that the  combination of good volume growth,  Bunzl's strong position in
the  markets in which it  operates  and the  continuing  pipeline  of  potential
acquisitions  within  its area of focus  gives  the  Board  confidence  that the
underlying prospects of the Group are good and that, at constant exchange rates,
the business will continue to develop satisfactorily.
