                                Trading Update



Severfield-Rowen Plc, the market leading structural steel group, issues the
following trading update.



Since the announcement of the Group's half year results on 26 September 2005,
trading has continued to be very strong.   With ten months of the year elapsed
it is now clear that the Group's results for 2005 will be significantly ahead of
current market expectations.



Furthermore, with an order book now standing at £163m and improving Group
margins, the Board views the outlook for 2006 with increasing confidence.



The Group also announces the appointment of Tom Haughey, the Group's Commercial
Director, as joint Group Managing Director with special responsibilities for
buying and the development of the Fabsec product.



Peter Levine, Chairman, said:



'I am happy to report that 2005 will significantly exceed our expectations and,
given the strength of the Group's current trading and its high level of
visibility, we believe the prospects for 2006 and beyond are very promising.'
