Share Price Movement

The Directors of Westminster Group Plc ('Westminster' or 'the Company'), the AIM listed supplier of system solutions and products to the security, defence, fire protection and safety markets worldwide, have noted the recent price movement in the company's shares which they believe is the result of a forced seller in the market.

The Directors are pleased to confirm that Westminster is trading in line with expectations and is seeing the benefits of initiatives taken to develop the business since flotation last year.

The Company is also pleased to report that it is in detailed discussions with a major product manufacturer to establish a distributorship in the Middle East, which the Board believes would have a significant positive impact on its business. A further announcement will be made in due course.
