Johnson Service Group PLC
At the Annual General Meeting, which is due to commence at 3pm today, the Chairman John Talbot will make the following statement:
"The Group overall has traded in line with management's expectations during the first four months of the year, following the impact of the severe winter weather on the drycleaning business at the start of the year.
Although we are not anticipating any upturn in trading conditions, we remain confident in achieving a satisfactory overall result for the full year 2010 and despite the harsh economic environment, we feel very positive about the prospects for the Group.
A further update will be given in the pre-close statement at the end of June."
