                            Year End Trading Update                            

                                                                               

Keller Group plc ("Keller" or "the Group"), the international ground
engineering specialist, is providing the following routine trading update in
advance of its results for the financial year ending 31 December 2012, to be
announced on 4 March 2013.

In our Interim Management Statement released on 15 November 2012 we reported
that the Group's 2012 full-year revenue was expected to be around £1.3bn, with
full-year profit before tax significantly above the then range of market
expectations.

Since then, overall market and trading conditions have remained largely
unchanged. Accordingly, the Board continues to expect that the full year
results will be in line with the guidance given in November.
