Pre Close Trading Update

Driver Group, the global construction consultancy, is pleased to report a further update on trading ahead of the announcement of its results for the six months ended 31 March 2012.

The Company is pleased with the continued progress being made as a result of the renewed focus of the business on its core competencies and in broadening its presence, both geographically and in the sectors it operates in within the UK.

The Middle East business continues to trade ahead of management's expectations. In addition, the Company's performance in the UK Power & Process sector and in its operations in Africa is also very strong with the remainder of the Company's business operations operating in line with management's expectations.

As a result of the continued strength of trading and secured workload the Board believes the Company will further exceed management expectations for the current financial year.

The Company looks forward to providing further information at the time of the announcement of its interim results for the six months ended 31 March 2012 which is expected to be in June.
