Mears Group PLC 06 July 2007 6 July 2007 Mears Group PLC ('Mears' or the 'Company') Hackney and Islington Contract - BBC Report Certain allegations have been made in a BBC 5 Live report regarding the Company's conduct relating to works carried out for the Family Mosaic Housing Association in Hackney and Islington ('Family Mosaic'). The Company is taking the allegations seriously. Its own initial investigations on the matter have shown there to be no substance to the claims made but Mears welcomes an independent investigation by The Housing Corporation, the sector's regulator. Mears expects this to be completed in the next few weeks and the Board is confident of a satisfactory outcome. Mears conducts over 20,000 jobs per annum on behalf of Family Mosaic, a contract which began in October 2004. Family Mosaic independently measures Mears' performance and these measures support Mears' own information showing around 90% customer satisfaction levels, significantly exceeding sector norms. Mears' processes for managing jobs through to post inspection are fully audited both internally and externally.
