 Dear Christoph

  
 Further to our discussion I am pleased to confirm the following terms and

	Position	  	Managing Director, Bunzl Outsourcing Services, Europe and Australasia reporting to the Chief Executive of the Company. You will perform and render such duties and services as are customarily
performed and rendered by somebody holding such a position and shall perform such other duties as may from time to time be reasonably assigned to him by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) that may be required from you
consistent with the responsibilities and authority of your position.
		
	 	  	You undertake, to comply with the advice, directions, orders, policies, regulations and standards of the Company and the Board as promulgated from time to time and shall not directly or
indirectly carry on any other business activities without the prior written consent of the Board which may be withheld in the Board’s sole discretion.
	
	Registered in England No. 358948. Registered office as above.

  

			
	 	  	You may be required in the course of your employment to be engaged in work on behalf of the Company or any member of the Bunzl Group from time to time.
		
	 	  	You will devote your entire work time, attention, knowledge, skills, energies and best efforts to the performance of your duties and services under the terms of your appointment and to the
furtherance of the business and interests of the Company.
		
	 	  	You will report to the Chief Executive of the Company.
		
	Hours of Work	  	You agree that the nature of your employment including your seniority and the scope of your responsibilities is such that your working time can be determined by you in a manner consistent
with your employment. Accordingly, you have no normal working hours but are required to work during the Company’s normal business hours and for such other hours as are necessary to discharge the duties and responsibilities of this
position.
		
	Salary	  	Your basic annual salary will be £400,000 per annum from the effective date of this letter as set out below. Salary is paid monthly on or around the 17th of each month by bank transfer and is subject to statutory deductions. Salary is deemed to accrue on a daily basis and is
payable part in arrears and part in advance.
		
	 	  	Your next salary review will be 1 January 2006 and annually thereafter on 1 January. Any revision shall not be less than the existing rate prevailing prior to such review.
		
	Effective date	  	1 January 2005.
		
	Location	  	This appointment will be based at Epsom Chase, 1 Hook Road, Epsom KT19 8TY. You will however be required to work in other locations, either on a temporary or on a permanent basis in
accordance with the needs of the business. If however you are required to make a permanent move involving a relocation of your main home then the Company will offer you relocation assistance in accordance with the Company’s relocation policy in
force at the time.

  

 2 

			
	 	  	You will be required to undertake substantial travelling and to attend at various locations on a world-wide basis in accordance with the requirements of your duties.
		
	Continuous Employment	  	Your continuous period of employment within the Bunzl Group commenced on 1 September 1993.
		
	Bonus Scheme	  	For 2005 your bonus will be based on the usual scheme as shown in the accompanying letter.
		
	 	  	Details of any future scheme for which you are eligible will be provided to you at the relevant time. The Company reserves the right to alter the terms of, replace or withdraw any bonus
scheme within its sole discretion.
		
	 	  	In addition you will be a member of the Bunzl plc Deferred Annual Share Bonus Scheme. Essentially, it provides for the bonus the Employee earns under the terms of the Standard Bunzl
Outsourcing Services Executive Bonus Scheme to be doubled, subject to the total value of bonus earned in any one year being no more than 90% of basic annual salary for the year.
		
	 	  	The amount of bonus earned under the Bonus Scheme will be paid in cash in the normal way. The amount in excess of this, up to the 90% of basic annual salary limit, will be paid in the form of
Bunzl shares to be held in the Bunzl General Employee Benefit Trust and deferred until March 1 in the third year after the year in which the award is made.
		
	 	  	Provided you remain in the employment of Bunzl for the full period of deferral the shares will automatically transfer to you on the expiry of the deferral period, subject to normal dealing
rules constraints. There are certain limited provisions for the shares to transfer to you prior to the expiry of the deferral period, which are defined in the rules of the plan.

  

 3 

			
	Long term incentive plan	  	You remain eligible to participate in the following Share Schemes for the Company in accordance with the rules of the various schemes, which are in force from time to time.
		
	 	  	 •      Bunzl plc 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan. Options/performance shares are granted/awarded at the
absolute discretion of the Remuneration Committee of the Board.

		
	 	  	 •      Bunzl plc Savings Related Share Option Scheme.

		
	 	  	The Company reserves the right to alter the rules, replace or withdraw such schemes at any time.
		
	Pension	  	You will continue to be eligible to participate in the Bunzl Senior Pension Scheme (“BSPS”). Participation in the BSPS is subject to the terms of the trust deed and rules governing
the BSPS as amended from time to time. Membership of this scheme is voluntary and contributory and the members’ contribution for BSPS is currently 9% of pensionable salary.
		
	 	  	Your normal retirement date is 60 years of age.
		
	 	  	BSPS membership entitles you to death in service life insurance cover in respect of yourself at four times your basic annual salary.
		
	 	  	BSPS is contracted out of the State Earnings Related Pension Scheme and national insurance contributions of members are accordingly payable at the reduced rate. A contracting-out certificate
is in force to this effect.

  

 4 

			
	Pension Allowance	  	As your current salary exceeds the pensionable salary limit (“the Cap”), you are eligible to receive a salary supplement (“the Supplement”) equal to 20% of the difference
between the Cap and your actual basic annual salary, in each case as amended from time to time. The Supplement is payable in 12 equal instalments with your normal monthly salary and is subject to normal statutory deductions. The Supplement does not
count for the purposes of bonus calculations and is not in itself pensionable. Adjustments to the Supplement whether as a result of a change in the Cap or in your base salary will be automatically implemented by payroll.
		
	 	  	As a further alternative or in addition to receiving the Supplement, the Company will provide (as long as no additional cost is incurred) all reasonable cooperation that you may request in
procuring that payments are made to such alternative tax – advantageous retirement benefit scheme or schemes as may apply to you, and the Supplement and/or if you so request, your basic salary, shall be reduced pro rata to any such
payments.
		
	Vehicle	  	You will continue to be eligible for a car in accordance with the Company car policy. Selection is subject to authorisation by the Director of Group HR. Such vehicle is fully expensed for
both business and private use.
		
	 	  	You are required to ensure that such vehicle is maintained in good roadworthy order and in a condition which reflects positively on the Company. Any accidents involving injury or damage to
the vehicle, no matter how minor, must be reported to the Company at the earliest opportunity.
		
	 	  	Whenever using a Company allocated vehicle you must be in possession of a valid driving licence.
		
	 	  	Alternatively you have elected to take a cash option applicable to your position (currently £9,500 per annum) in which event the Company expects you to maintain an appropriate vehicle
to enable you to drive as and when necessary on Company business. You will be responsible for all road tax, maintenance, repair and other charges in connection with such vehicle. It must be insured on a comprehensive basis, including business use on
behalf of the Company.

  

 5 

			
	 	  	The cash option will be paid monthly in equal instalments with your normal pay but will not be included as pay in any calculation regarding bonus or pension rights. Having accepted the cash
option you are required to commit to this for a period equivalent to the normal car lease i.e. four years. Business mileage will be reimbursed at the prevailing rate, currently 20p per mile.
		
	 	  	Should you at any stage convert back to a Company allocated vehicle, you agree that any financial consequences of doing this will be for your own account and the Company will neither
reimburse you for any additional costs you incur as a result of such a switch nor seek to recover from you any additional costs which the Company may incur as a result of the switch.
		
	Holiday	  	You are entitled to 25 working days holiday per year.
		
	 	  	In addition you will be entitled to public holidays in England with pay as they occur, currently totalling 8 days in a calendar year.
		
	 	  	The Company reserves the right to designate days of holiday over the Christmas period.
		
	 	  	All holidays must be approved in advance by your manager.
		
	Holiday Pay	  	The holiday year runs from 1 January to 31 December and no holiday entitlement may be carried forward to subsequent years. Upon termination of employment for whatsoever reason and where the
entire notice period is worked, pay in lieu of holiday entitlement not taken at the date of termination will be paid at the rate of 1/12th of the year’s entitlement for each complete calendar month of service rounded to the nearest whole
day.

  

 6 

			
	 	  	In the event that you are not required to work all or part of your notice period then holiday will be deemed to be taken during the period you are not required to work and therefore no
payment will be made in respect of any outstanding holiday entitlement. If, at the date of termination of employment, holiday has been taken in excess of entitlement it is agreed that the Company may deduct an amount in respect of each excess day
taken at the prevailing daily rate. Prevailing daily rate is calculated as 1/260th of your annual basic
salary.
		
	Expenses	  	You will be entitled to be reimbursed for all reasonable out of pocket expenses which you have properly incurred in accordance with generally applicable policies, regulations and standards of
the Company and the Board in performing and rendering duties and services under the terms of your employment. Such reimbursement shall also be subject to compliance with procedures established by the Company for maintaining records and receipts
reflecting the expenses incurred and reporting such information as the Board may request from time to time regarding such expenses.
		
	Sickness	  	Should you be unable to attend for work due to sickness or injury you are entitled to receive sick pay in accordance with the rules of the Company scheme at your normal rate of pay up to an
aggregate of 6 months in any consecutive 12 month period. This payment will discharge any entitlement you may have to Statutory Sick Pay. The Company may require you to provide medical certificates in accordance with the rules of the Sick Pay
Scheme.
		
	 	  	Notice to terminate shall not, however, be given either during or following a six month period specified under the section headed “Sickness” above where the giving of such notice
may prejudice any actual or contingent entitlement to participate in the Long Term Disability Scheme as detailed below.

  

 7 

			
	Long Term Disability Benefit	  	During the employment period you are covered by a Long Term Disability Scheme (“the LTD Scheme”) subject to the rules and conditions of the LTD Scheme from time to time in force. No
warranty is given by the company that any claim you make will be accepted. No liability will attach to any such company if any claim be rejected in full or part.
		
	 	  	If any your claim is accepted in whole or part, the company shall with immediate effect from such acceptance:
		
	 	  	 •      No longer be under any obligation to pay any amounts or to provide any benefits to you other than
those provided under the terms of the LTD Scheme rules applicable at the date of your claim.

		
	 	  	 •      The Company shall automatically be entitled to appoint a successor to you to perform all or any
of your duties.

		
	 	  	provided that upon such acceptance and for so long as you receive benefits under the LTD scheme, the Company shall not give notice to terminate your employment under this
agreement.
		
	Medical	  	You are entitled to membership of the Corporate Health Plan (currently with Norwich Union) for yourself, your spouse and your dependants under the age of 21. This will be fully expensed by
the Company with the exception of any tax liability assessed. Membership is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan from time to time in force and without prejudice to the Company’s right to alter, replace or withdraw the benefit in its
absolute discretion.
		
	Grievance and Disciplinary Procedure	  	In the event you wish to raise any grievance relating to your employment you should apply in the first instance either orally or in writing to the Director of Group HR.
		
	 	  	You will be given written reasons for any proposed disciplinary action or dismissal. You will be invited to attend a meeting with the Director of Group HR to consider such disciplinary
decision or dismissal. The Director of Group HR will notify you of his decision. If you are dissatisfied with the decision you may appeal to the Chief Executive within 14 days of the Director of Group HR’s decision.

 BUNZL PLC 
  
 Preventing Disclosure of Sensitive Information 
  
 The relationship between Bunzl plc (“the Company”) and its employees is founded on trust. In the course of employment by the Company, you may have access to
Sensitive Information (as defined below) in order that you may carry out your duties. Disclosure of Sensitive Information to any customer or actual or potential competitor could place the Company at a serious competitive disadvantage and cause
immeasurable financial and other damage to the business. It is therefore essential to ensure that Sensitive Information is identified and controls applied to prevent unauthorised disclosure. For the purposes of this Attachment A, references to the
Company are deemed to include Bunzl plc and its subsidiary and associated companies from time to time. 
  
 Sensitive Information means all and any information (whether or not recorded in documentary form or on computer disk or tape) relating to the business methods, corporate plans, management systems, finances, maturing
new business opportunities or research and development projects of the Company or relating to the marketing or sales of any past, present or future product or service of the Company including, without limitation, sales information and plans, market

with the Company and any trade secrets, secret formulae, processes, inventions, designs, know-how, discoveries, technical information relating to the creation, production or supply of any past, present or future product or service of the Company. It
will include any other information to which the Company shall attach an equivalent level of confidentiality or in respect of which it shall owe an obligation of confidentiality to any third party which: 
  

	 	•	 	you shall acquire at any time during your employment by the Company but which does not form part of your personal skill and experience; and 

  

	 	•	 	is not readily ascertainable to persons not connected with the Company either at all or without significant expenditure of labour, skill or money. 

  
 In order to safeguard the Company’s interests you must not: 
  

	 	•	 	at any time whether during or after the termination of your employment with the Company (unless expressly so authorised by the Company or as a necessary part of the performance of
your duties with the Company) disclose to any person or other company or otherwise make use of any such Sensitive Information; or 

  

 14 

	 	•	 	at any time make any copy, abstract, summary or précis of the whole or any part of any document or record, including computer program systems and software, except when
required to do so in the course of your employment, in which event the copy, abstract, summary or précis shall be the property of the Company. 

  
 For the protection of such Sensitive Information you must: 
  

	a.	ensure that any document originated or used by you and which contains Sensitive Information is classified and annotated as follows: 

  

	 	•	 	Confidential – information which is intended for a restricted audience either internally or externally. Such documents must be clearly marked with the appropriate circulation
list or explicitly provide the recipient with authority to pass the information to another person/department where this is required for appropriate action to be taken; 

  

	 	•	 	Private – information which is intended for the addressee(s) only; 

  
 In addition, envelopes containing private information relating to individual employees should be marked “Addressee Only”; 
  

	b.	not disseminate information so classified outside the restricted circulation list without the prior consent of the author or someone more senior; 

  

	c.	ensure that all information identified as Confidential or Private is securely stored or disposed of appropriately; 

  

	d.	ensure that transmission of Sensitive Information over external networks, including the Internet, such as through Internet e-mail, is subject to appropriate protection; and

  

	e.	return to the Company immediately upon written request and in any event on termination of your employment all documents, records (including computer-held records), computer disks,
other media and other papers and property belonging to the Company and which are in your possession or control, including documents and records you have made in the course of your employment. 

  
 Any breach of these restrictions will render you liable to disciplinary action and/or to
civil proceedings to restrain you from disclosing the Sensitive Information to a third party, or from making personal use of it without authority from the Chief Executive of the Company, and for damages if loss to the Company results from any
unauthorised disclosure or use. 
  
 This restriction applies only to Sensitive
Information as described above and shall not prevent: 
  

	a.	any disclosure or use authorised by the Company, required by law or made to enable you to properly perform your duties: 

  

 15 

	b.	you from using your personal skills in any business in which you are lawfully engaged without using Sensitive Information: 

  

	c.	the use of such Sensitive Information that is in or comes into the public domain in any way without breach of these restrictions by you.

 All discoveries, inventions, improvements, processes, designs or copyright works, which have been discovered, developed, part developed or
made during the period of your employment with the Company either in the course of work undertaken on behalf of the Company or relating to products or services provided by the Company will be the sole property of the Company. You may not disclose
any details of such discovery, invention, improvement, process, designs or copyright works to a third party without the prior written consent of the Chief Executive of the Company. Such inventions or developments cannot be promoted or sold, either
complete or in part, without prior permission, in writing, from the Chief Executive of the Company.

	 	•	 	solicit, entice or endeavour to entice away from the Company any person employed by the Company either at managerial level or in a sales capacity who had been so employed at the
date of termination of your employment and with whom you had contact during the period of one year prior to that date; 

  

	 	•	 	solicit custom from or deal with any person firm or company who or which was a customer of the Company at the date of termination of your employment or during the period of one year

 16 

	 	 
or areas in which you were employed or for which you had responsibility at the date of termination of your employment or during the period of one year prior
thereto. 

  
 In the event of any infringement of these
provisions the Company will take such steps as appropriate to protect its position which may include injunction proceedings and/or a claim for damages.

conditions of employment with Bunzl plc (“the Company”) replaces all previous statements and agreements between yourself and the Company and/or any of its holding and subsidiary companies and any subsidiaries of such holding companies
(together “the Bunzl Group”), including but not limited to your letter dated 26 July 2002 and 6 January 2003. 
  

			
	Position	  	Managing Director, Filtrona. You will perform and render such duties and services as are customarily performed and rendered by somebody holding such a position and that may be required from
you consistent with the responsibilities and authority of your position.
		
	 	  	You undertake, to the best of your ability, experience and talents, and to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board of Directors of the Company (“the Board”), to comply with the
advice, directions, orders, policies, regulations and standards of the Company and the Board or of the Board of Directors of Bunzl plc as promulgated from time to time and shall not directly or indirectly carry on any other business activities
without the prior written consent of the Board which may be withheld in the Board’s sole discretion.

  

			
	 	  	You may be required in the course of your employment to be engaged in work on behalf of the Company or any member of the Bunzl Group from time to time.
		
	 	  	You will devote your entire work time, attention, knowledge, skills, energies and best efforts to the performance of your duties and services under the terms of your appointment and to the
furtherance of the business and interests of the Company.
		
	 	  	You will report to the Chief Executive of the Company.
		
	Hours of Work	  	You agree that the nature of your employment including your seniority and the scope of your responsibilities is such that your working time can be determined by you in a manner consistent
with your employment. Accordingly, you have no normal working hours but are required to work during the Company’s normal business hours and for such other hours as are necessary to discharge the duties and responsibilities of this
position.
		
	Salary	  	Your basic annual salary will be £340,000 per annum from the effective date of this letter as set out below. Salary is paid monthly on or around the 17th of each month by bank transfer and is subject to statutory deductions. Salary is deemed to accrue on a daily basis and is
payable part in arrears and part in advance.
		
	 	  	Your next salary review will be 1 January 2006 and annually thereafter on 1 January. Any revision shall not be less than the existing rate prevailing prior to such review.
		
	Effective date	  	1 January 2005.
		
	Location	  	This appointment will be based at the offices of the Company, currently in Avebury Boulevard, Milton Keynes. You will however be required to work in other locations, either on a temporary or
on a permanent basis in accordance with the needs of the business. If however you are required to make a permanent move involving a relocation of your main home then the Company will offer you relocation assistance in accordance with the
Company’s relocation policy in force at the time.

	 	  	You will be required to undertake substantial travelling and to attend at various locations on a world-wide basis in accordance with the requirements of your duties.
		
	Continuous Employment	  	Your continuous period of employment within the Bunzl Group commenced on 31 March 1986.
		
	Bonus Scheme	  	For 2005 your bonus will be based on the usual scheme as shown in the accompanying letter.
		
	 	  	Details of any future scheme for which you are eligible will be provided to you at the relevant time. The Company reserves the right to alter the terms of, replace or withdraw any bonus
scheme within its sole discretion.
		
	 	  	In addition you will be a member of the Bunzl plc Deferred Annual Share Bonus Scheme. Essentially, it provides for the bonus you earn under the terms of the Standard Bunzl Outsourcing
Services Executive Bonus Scheme to be doubled, subject to the total value of bonus earned in any one year being no more than 90% of basic annual salary for the year.
		
	 	  	The amount of bonus earned under the Bonus Scheme will be paid in cash in the normal way. The amount in excess of this, up to the 90% of basic annual salary limit, will be paid in the form of
Bunzl shares to be held in the Bunzl General Employee Benefit Trust and deferred until March 1 in the third year after the year in which the award is made.
		
	 	  	Provided you remain in the employment of Bunzl for the full period of deferral the shares will automatically transfer to you on the expiry of the deferral period, subject to normal dealing
rules constraints. There are certain limited provisions for the shares to transfer to you prior to the expiry of the deferral period, which are defined in the rules of the plan.

  

 3 

			
	Long term incentives	  	You remain eligible to participate in the following Share Schemes for the Company in accordance with the rules of the various schemes, which are in force from time to time.
		
	 	  	 •      Bunzl plc 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan. Options/performance shares are granted /awarded at the
absolute discretion of the Remuneration Committee of the Board.

		
	 	  	 •      Bunzl plc Savings Related Share Option Scheme.

		
	 	  	The Company reserves the right to alter the rules replace or withdraw such schemes at any time.
		
	Pension	  	You will continue to be eligible to participate in the Bunzl Senior Pension Scheme (“BSPS”). Participation in the BSPS is subject to the terms of the trust deed and rules governing
the BSPS as amended from time to time. Membership of this scheme is voluntary and contributory and the members’ contribution for BSPS is currently 9% of pensionable salary.
		
	 	  	Your normal retirement date is 60 years of age.
		
	 	  	BSPS membership entitles you to death in service life insurance cover in respect of yourself at four times your basic annual salary.
		
	 	  	BSPS is contracted out of the State Earnings Related Pension Scheme and national insurance contributions of members are accordingly payable at the reduced rate. A contracting-out certificate
is in force to this effect.
		
	Vehicle	  	You will continue to be eligible for a car in accordance with the Company car policy. Selection is subject to authorisation by the Director of Group HR of Bunzl plc. Such vehicle is fully
expensed for both business and private use.

  

 4 

			
	 	 	You are required to ensure that such vehicle is maintained in good roadworthy order and in a condition which reflects positively on the Company. Any accidents involving injury or damage to the
vehicle, no matter how minor, must be reported to the Company at the earliest opportunity.
		
	 	 	Whenever using a Company allocated vehicle you must be in possession of a valid driving licence.
		
	 	 	Alternatively you may elect to take a cash option applicable to your position (currently £9,500 per annum) in which event the Company would expect you to maintain an appropriate vehicle to
enable you to drive as and when necessary on Company business. You will be responsible for all road tax, maintenance, repair and other charges in connection with such vehicle. It must be insured on a comprehensive basis, including business use on
behalf of the Company.
		
	 	 	The cash option will be paid monthly in equal instalments with your normal pay but will not be included as pay in any calculation regarding bonus or pension rights. Should you wish to accept the
cash option you are required to commit to this for a period equivalent to the normal car lease i.e. four years. Business mileage will be reimbursed at the prevailing rate, currently 20p per mile.
		
	 	 	Should you at any stage convert back to a Company allocated vehicle, you agree that any financial consequences of doing this will be for your own account and the Company will neither reimburse
you for any additional costs you incur as a result of such a switch nor seek to recover from you any additional costs which the Company may incur as a result of the switch.

	 	  	The Company reserves the right to designate days of holiday over the Christmas period.
		
	 	  	All holidays must be approved in advance by your manager.
		
	Holiday Pay	  	The holiday year runs from 1 January to 31 December and no holiday entitlement may be carried forward to subsequent years. Upon termination of employment for whatsoever reason and where the
entire notice period is worked, pay in lieu of holiday entitlement not taken at the date of termination will be paid at the rate of 1/12th of the year’s entitlement for each complete calendar month of service rounded to the nearest whole
day.
		
	 	  	In the event that you are not required to work all or part of your notice period then holiday will be deemed to be taken during the period you are not required to work and therefore no
payment will be made in respect of any outstanding holiday entitlement. If, at the date of termination of employment, holiday has been taken in excess of entitlement it is agreed that the Company may deduct an amount in respect of each excess day
taken at the prevailing daily rate. Prevailing daily rate is calculated as 1/260th of your annual basic
salary.
		
	Expenses	  	You will be entitled to be reimbursed for all reasonable out of pocket expenses which you have properly incurred in accordance with generally applicable policies, regulations and standards of
the Company and the Board in performing and rendering duties and services under the terms of your employment. Such reimbursement shall also be subject to compliance with procedures established by the Company for maintaining records and receipts
reflecting the expenses incurred and reporting such information as the Board may request from time to time regarding such expenses.

	Sickness	  	Should you be unable to attend for work due to sickness or injury you are entitled to receive sick pay in accordance with the rules of the Company scheme at your normal rate of pay up to an
aggregate of 6 months in any consecutive 12 month period. This payment will discharge any entitlement you may have to Statutory Sick Pay. The Company may require you to provide medical certificates in accordance with the rules of the Sick Pay
Scheme.

absolute discretion.

decision or dismissal. The Director of Group HR will notify you of her decision. If you are dissatisfied with the decision you may appeal to the Chief Executive within 14 days of the Director of Group HR’s decision.

 ATTACHMENT A 
  
 BUNZL PLC 
  
 Preventing Disclosure of Sensitive Information 
  
 The relationship between Bunzl plc (“the Company”) and its employees is founded on trust. In the course of employment by the Company, you may have access to
Sensitive Information (as defined below) in order that you may carry out your duties. Disclosure of Sensitive Information to any customer or actual or potential competitor could place the Company at a serious competitive disadvantage and cause
immeasurable financial and other damage to the business. It is therefore essential to ensure that Sensitive Information is identified and controls applied to prevent unauthorised disclosure. For the purposes of this Attachment A, references to the
Company are deemed to include Bunzl plc and its subsidiary and associated companies from time to time. 
  
 Sensitive Information means all and any information (whether or not recorded in documentary form or on computer disk or tape) relating to the business methods, corporate plans, management systems, finances, maturing
new business opportunities or research and development projects of the Company or relating to the marketing or sales of any past, present or future product or service of the Company including, without limitation, sales information and plans, market

with the Company and any trade secrets, secret formulae, processes, inventions, designs, know-how, discoveries, technical information relating to the creation, production or supply of any past, present or future product or service of the Company. It
will include any other information to which the Company shall attach an equivalent level of confidentiality or in respect of which it shall owe an obligation of confidentiality to any third party which: 
  

	 	•	 	you shall acquire at any time during your employment by the Company but which does not form part of your personal skill and experience; and 

  

	 	•	 	is not readily ascertainable to persons not connected with the Company either at all or without significant expenditure of labour, skill or money. 

  
 In order to safeguard the Company’s interests you must not: 
  

	 	•	 	at any time whether during or after the termination of your employment with the Company (unless expressly so authorised by the Company or as a necessary part of the performance of
your duties with the Company) disclose to any person or other company or otherwise make use of any such Sensitive Information; or 

  

 12 

	 	•	 	at any time make any copy, abstract, summary or précis of the whole or any part of any document or record, including computer program systems and software, except when
required to do so in the course of your employment, in which event the copy, abstract, summary or précis shall be the property of the Company. 

  
 For the protection of such Sensitive Information you must: 
  

	a.	ensure that any document originated or used by you and which contains Sensitive Information is classified and annotated as follows: 

  

	 	•	 	Confidential – information which is intended for a restricted audience either internally or externally. Such documents must be clearly marked with the appropriate circulation
list or explicitly provide the recipient with authority to pass the information to another person/department where this is required for appropriate action to be taken; 

  

	 	•	 	Private – information which is intended for the addressee(s) only; 

  
 In addition, envelopes containing private information relating to individual employees should be marked “Addressee Only”; 
  

	b.	not disseminate information so classified outside the restricted circulation list without the prior consent of the author or someone more senior; 

  

	c.	ensure that all information identified as Confidential or Private is securely stored or disposed of appropriately; 

  

	d.	ensure that transmission of Sensitive Information over external networks, including the Internet, such as through Internet e-mail, is subject to appropriate protection; and

  

	e.	return to the Company immediately upon written request and in any event on termination of your employment all documents, records (including computer-held records), computer disks,
other media and other papers and property belonging to the Company and which are in your possession or control, including documents and records you have made in the course of your employment. 

  
 Any breach of these restrictions will render you liable to disciplinary action and/or to
civil proceedings to restrain you from disclosing the Sensitive Information to a third party, or from making personal use of it without authority from the Chief Executive of Bunzl plc, and for damages if loss to the Company results from any
unauthorised disclosure or use. 
  
 This restriction applies only to Sensitive
Information as described above and shall not prevent: 
  

	a.	any disclosure or use authorised by the Company, required by law or made to enable you to properly perform your duties: 

  

 13 

	b.	you from using your personal skills in any business in which you are lawfully engaged without using Sensitive Information: 

  

	c.	the use of such Sensitive Information that is in or comes into the public domain in any way without breach of these restrictions by you. 

  
 Inventions and Patents 
  
 All discoveries, inventions, improvements, processes, designs or copyright works, which have been discovered, developed, part developed or
made during the period of your employment with the Company either in the course of work undertaken on behalf of the Company or relating to products or services provided by the Company will be the sole property of the Company. You may not disclose
any details of such discovery, invention, improvement, process, designs or copyright works to a third party without the prior written consent of the Chief Executive of Bunzl plc. Such inventions or developments cannot be promoted or sold, either
complete or in part, without prior permission, in writing, from the Chief Executive of Bunzl plc. 
  
 You will be required to enter into such documents as may be necessary or appropriate in order to vest title to such discovery, invention, improvement, process, designs or copyright works in the Company and in the

	 	•	 	solicit, entice or endeavour to entice away from the Company any person employed by the Company either at managerial level or in a sales capacity who had been so employed at the
date of termination of your employment and with whom you had contact during the period of one year prior to that date; 

  

	 	•	 	solicit custom from or deal with any person firm or company who or which was a customer of the Company at the date of termination of your employment or during the period of one year

your employment with the Company; 

  

	 	•	 	 in competition with the Company engage in or undertake work of a similar nature to that engaged in or undertaken by the Company in relation to the manufacture or
