            Keller Group plc ('the Company')

             AGM Statement and Trading Update

Dr  Michael West, Keller Group Chairman, speaking at  the
Company's Annual General Meeting to be held at 09.30 this
morning,   will   make   the   following   comments    to
shareholders:

'As  we  indicated in the announcement of  our  excellent
2002  results, the first quarter of the current year  got
off to a slow start, with some jobs delayed by weather in
the  US  and  weak  trading  in  the  UK.   Nevertheless,
contract  awards  for  the first  three  months  of  2003
remained strong in most parts of the business.  The total
order book stood at just over £220 million at the end  of
March  2003, representing four and a half months'  sales,
which  compares to just under £200 million  at  the  same
time last year.

'Once  again,  the  profile of our global  order  book  -
representing  a  mix of small and medium sized  contracts
with  a  balance between new-build and refurbishment  and
between the public and private sectors - demonstrates our
resilience to downturns in particular market sectors  and
countries.

'This  year,  the Group will benefit from a  full  year's
contribution  from  the businesses that  we  acquired  in
December  2002,  McKinney  and  Keller-Terra,  and  their
integration is proceeding in line with plan.

'Overall,  the  Board  expects  another  year  of  steady
progress for the Keller Group.'

A  trading  update  for the first  half  of  the  current
financial year will be announced towards the end of  June
2003.
