T. Clarke plc, ('T. Clarke') the Electrical engineering and contracting Group, announces a trading update in relation to the results for the twelve months ended 31st December 2008.

T. Clarke performed well during the year and, following a post year end contract review, is pleased to report that underlying operating profit for the year is expected to be significantly higher than current market expectations.

The Board remains confident in the resilience of the business going forward, despite these challenging times.
