                              Analyst Visit

Woolworths Group plc is today taking analysts on a store tour and a visit to the
Entertainment U.K. distribution centre at Greenford. The stores to be visited
will include a Mainchain store where the Group's management will demonstrate the
operational improvements that have been implemented across the chain and one of
the recently refitted trial stores.

The Group has previously set out its recovery plan, namely simplifying the
business, strengthening the infrastructure, rebuilding core retail competencies
and developing clearer propositions. Today's visit aims to show how these
initiatives and the overall recovery plan are being implemented.

The Group's next trading update will accompany the interim results announcement
scheduled for 10 September 2003 and therefore there will be no current trading
update as part of today's visit.
