Extends Distribution Agreement with Kravet Inc.

Kravet Inc. to distribute Clarke & Clarke and Studio G brands in Canada

Walker Greenbank PLC (AIM: WGB), the luxury interior furnishings group, announces that it is building on its existing agreement with Kravet Inc., which has been distributing the Clarke & Clarke and Studio G brands in the US since August this year, by extending the agreement to include Canada.

The decision to extend the distribution agreement for the Clarke & Clarke and Studio G brands to Canada follows a positive start to the distribution of the two brands in the US by Kravet Inc., the premier US home furnishings resource available exclusively to the trade.

The Clarke & Clarke and Studio G brands were, until earlier this year, distributed in Canada by Robert Allen Duralee Group, which also formerly distributed the two brands in the US.

Walker Greenbank has a long track record of working with Kravet Inc. through the Company's manufacturing operations, which print wallpapers and fabrics for certain Kravet Inc. brands.

Lisa Montague, Walker Greenbank's Chief Executive Officer, said: "We have been pleased with Kravet Inc.'s progress in the distribution of the Clarke & Clarke and Studio G brands in the US and are therefore delighted to extend the agreement to include Canada, thereby giving us a single, strong distributor for the two brands in North America."

Cary Kravet, Kravet Inc.'s President and Chief Executive Officer, added: "We are pleased to be distributing Clarke and Clarke and Studio G to our Canadian clients. Canada is a vibrant market for Kravet, including brand new showrooms recently opened in Toronto and Vancouver. We look forward to this exciting opportunity."
