  We discuss the implications of the excesses in LHC Higgs boson searches on
the gauge mediated supersymmetric standard model, for the mass range
120-140\,GeV. We find that a relatively heavy lightest Higgs boson mass in this
range can be reconciled with light SUSY particles, $m_{\rm gluino}<2$\,TeV, if
there are additional fields which couple directly to the Higgs boson. We also
find that the mass of this extra matter can be predicted rather precisely in
gauge mediation for a given Higgs boson and gluino mass.
