For Immediate Release                                             16 July 2007


                                 Shieldtech plc
                        ("Shieldtech" or the "Company")

                        Appointment of Finance Director


The directors of Shieldtech PLC (AIM:STEC), a leading designer, manufacturer and
distributor of body armour systems to provide the wearer protection against
firearms and stab threats, are pleased to announce the appointment of Robert
Denton BA ACA as Finance Director of Shieldtech.


Robert, age 51, was an equity partner at Robson Rhodes until 1991. Following
this, he worked for a privately owned business and then joined Jasmin PLC in
1994.  Between 1994 and 1998, Jasmin obtained a listing on AIM and then a Full
Listing.  Robert left Jasmin in 1998 to join DuBois Limited which was backed by
Bridgepoint, a venture capital firm.  DuBois was sold to a US Fortune 500 owned
company in 2000 earning Bridgepoint a significant cash return. Robert left
DuBois Limited in 2006.


Robert has today subscribed for #75,000 of new ordinary shares of one pence each
in Shieldtech at a price of 26p per share and has agreed not to dispose of any
interest in these shares (except in certain limited circumstances) for a period
of 12 months from today. Application will be made for these (288,461) new
ordinary shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and this is expected to occur
on 20 July 2007.


Today's appointment of Mr Denton fulfils the Directors' stated intention (as per
the admission document), to recruit a full-time finance director, following
which Gavin Kaye, who had agreed to stay on as non-executive finance director
until such time as a new finance director had been recruited, has now resigned
with immediate effect.


Tony O'Neill, Chief Executive of Shieldtech commented:


"Robert's experience both within a PLC and private company, venture capital
backed environment is extensive and the directors believe he will be a
significant asset to the group.  His subscription for shares indicates a
significant commitment to the group and the Shieldtech directors welcome him to
the Board".
