                                 AGM Statement


At  the  Annual  General Meeting today of T.Clarke Plc,  Mr  Pat  Stanborough,
Chairman said:

'Since  the  announcement of our preliminary results for  the  year  ended  31
December  1999, I am pleased to report that we have made a good start  to  the
year,  with trading in line with expectations.  We are still seeing  a  strong
demand  for our services across the company.  Your directors' aim is  to  grow
our business organically and through acquisitions, with continued emphasis  on
regional coverage.  Our current target of £100m turnover is well on track  and
our  overriding objective continues to be the delivery of a strong bottom line
and value for shareholders and clients.

'The  strength of our reputation has enabled us to secure our best  long  term
order book, with a high level of repeat business being secured throughout  our
Group.   We  are  continuing to see an increase in quality  market  share  and
margin  improvement  without the need to downsize  or  outsource.   We  regard
current  activity  within  the industry post 2000 as  more  sustainable,  less
speculative  and more custom built, and therefore less prone to the  risks  of
the past.

New orders secured include:

*    Goldman Sachs, Fleet Street
*    HSBC Tower, Canary Wharf
*    Citigroup Tower, Canary Wharf
*    Gulf House, Land Securities
*    Marconi, Cambridge

'Shareholders can look forward with confidence to another successful year.'
