                 Keller Group plc ('Keller' / the 'Group')

                               AGM Statement


Keller has made a satisfactory start to the year with operating profit for the
first quarter in line with the previous year and cash flow well ahead of
expectations.

In March, we announced the acquisition of Allied Mechanical Services Limited,
a heating and ventilation specialist as part of our stated strategy to
increase the scale of our renovation services portfolio.  We are pleased to
report that the integration is progressing well and we have already started to
witness the benefits of the acquisition. Further, in the UK, in response to
flat market conditions, the cost base of our ground engineering business has
been reduced significantly which should deliver benefits later in the year.

The Group order book improved during the first quarter but remains marginally
behind last year largely due to a lower proportion of large contracts in the
current order mix.  However, we anticipate that this position should improve
as the year progresses.

Looking ahead, the Board is confident of a satisfactory result for the year as
a whole, as well as further progress in developing our operations
internationally.
