                            CHAIRMAN'S AGM STATEMENT

Speaking at today's Annual General Meeting, Russell Race, Chairman of T. Clarke
plc, ('T. Clarke') the Electrical engineering and contracting company, will make
the following statement.

' So far the year is progressing well. The acquisition of Waldon Electrical
Contractors Limited, announced today, completes the first phase of our strategic
plan to increase the Group's regional coverage and focus on 'niche' markets. We
are confident that Waldon will fit well into the Group.

' Looking forward, we intend to concentrate on improving cash generation as a
main priority to support the development and growth of the regional businesses
that we have acquired. We are confident that we will achieve our targets during
the coming year.

' I am pleased to report that there are positive signs in all of our markets. In
particular there has been a well publicised sharp upturn in the London
commercial property market. Despite our strong spread of regional businesses,
this remains a key market for us. With the completion of the Bishops Square,
Spitalfields only weeks away, we can announce that we have been successful in
securing the fit-out for Allen & Overy which is taking 500,000 sq ft of space.
This has an order value of £11 million.

' The Group is currently the preferred bidder for the White City shopping
development, some 2,000,000 sq ft. This major project is due for completion at
the end of 2007, with an order value of £20 million. The Group is also bidding
or in discussions on a number of large developments in a wide range of locations
in the City, Central and West End of London which will span 2006 and 2007.

' In conclusion, the Group has made a pleasing start to the year and at this
stage we are on course to meet market expectations for 2005. We are looking
forward with confidence to the opportunities and challenges that are ahead of us
in 2006 and into 2007. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all
of our staff for their continued dedication and hard work and our shareholders
for their continuing support for the Group.'
