Reliance Security Group plc (the 'Company')
AGM Statement
At the Company's Annual General Meeting today, Brian Kingham, Chairman,
commenting on current trading, said:
'In the first few months of this year our businesses have performed in line with
our expectations.
In security services, we believe that market conditions will remain challenging
in the period leading up to industry regulation, due to take effect in March
2006, but that the position will improve in the long term. The Company is well
placed to benefit from the expected changes in the nature of security provision
in the UK, following regulation.
The large and dynamic facilities management and business process outsourcing
market offers significant opportunities for Reliance to grow, particularly in
the public sector and we are continuing to invest to drive future growth.
When we announced our preliminary results at the end of June, we indicated our
intention to return approximately £10 million in cash to shareholders, in
addition to the final dividend. We expect to finalise proposals for this within
the next few weeks.'
