TRADING STATEMENT

Charles Taylor Consulting plc ("CTC" or the "Company") announces a trading update for the year ended 31 December 2010.

Trading

Trading patterns to 31 December 2010 were broadly consistent with the trends highlighted within the Company's Interim Management Statement announced on 16 November 2010. The Adjusting Services division's performance was slightly weaker than expected, with a lower level of activity before the year-end than previously anticipated. Offsetting this is a better than anticipated post-tax result from the Group's share of the profits of its non-life insurance interests.

TheBoard therefore expects to announce earnings per share for the year ended 31 December 2010 in line with previous expectations, including lower tax and minority interests, while adjusted profit before taxation for the year is anticipated to be lower than previously expected.

Outlook

The Board continues to hold the view that the diversity of the Company's client base, the longevity of its many relationships and the opportunities available to it provide a solid base on which to build in 2011.

The Company will announce its results for the year ended 31 December 2010 on 30 March 2011.
