Scott Wilson Group plc 11 March 2008 11 March 2008 Scott Wilson Group plc Interim Management Statement Scott Wilson Group plc ("Scott Wilson" or "the Group"), the international consultancy offering integrated professional services in the transportation, property, environment and natural resources sectors, issues its Interim Management Statement for the period from 1 November 2007 to date. Trading Market conditions have remained favourable during the third quarter in the Group's core market segments and all divisions have continued to take advantage of this positive trading environment. Strong demand across both the domestic and international businesses has been reflected in a good flow of new contract awards. As a result, the Board remains confident of achieving results for the full year in line with expectations. Looking beyond the financial year-end, the Group sees strong demand continuing in its core markets, both in the UK and internationally. The Group continues to identify opportunities to supplement its strong organic growth with value-enhancing acquisitions. Net group borrowings remain modest, providing headroom for those acquisition opportunities, which fit the Group's strict commercial and financial criteria. The Group intends to issue a pre-close update for the year ended 27 April 2008 on 7 May 2008. Board of Directors The Board is pleased to announce that Hugh Blackwood, currently joint Chief Executive, will become Group Chief Executive with effect from 1 May 2008. Ron Wall, presently joint Chief Executive, will step down from the Board on the same date. This change marks the next step in the transition of executive management responsibility from the pre-flotation Board structure to the next generation of business leaders. Following the appointment of Sean Cummins as Group Finance Director on 1 October 2007, the new Board structure further strengthens the executive management team as it plans, with confidence, for the next phase of the Group's development.
