Renew Holdings Plc

('Renew' or the 'Group')



AGM Statement



At the Group's Annual General Meeting to be held today, Roy Harrison, Chairman
of Renew will say the following:



I am pleased to report that in the first half of the year the Group has made
good progress.  Our strategy of focusing on chosen specialist areas of activity
and operating through lower risk, partnering arrangements with our clients is
bearing fruit.  The Group's order book at 28 February was £223m, an increase of
16% in the year to date.  Trading at the end of the first half is in line with
expectations.



I am also pleased to announce the appointment of John Samuel as Group Finance
Director.  John was previously Group Financial Director of Zetex plc, a post he
held since July 2004.  Prior to that he was Group Finance Director of Filtronic
plc for 13 years.  John will join the Board on 1 May this year, and brings with
him a wealth of PLC and managerial experience.



As a result of the formation of an Executive Management Committee and the
resultant changes to the executive reporting structure, Philip Underwood will be
stepping down from the Board on 1 May to concentrate on running and further
developing the Group's specialist land remediation and nuclear engineering
businesses, VHE Construction and Shepley Engineers.  The Board thanks Philip for
his valuable contribution in assisting to reposition the Group over the last two
and a half years.



I look forward to reporting on further progress at the time of the Group's
interim results, which will be announced on Tuesday 6 June 2006.





                                                                   22 March 2006
