Interim Management Statement for the three months to 31 March 2008

Tribal Group plc ('Tribal' or the 'Group'), a leading provider of consultancy,
support and delivery services to the UK public sector, provides the following
update on trading in the quarter to 31 March 2008.

Peter Martin, Tribal's Chief Executive, said:

'Trading in the first three months of the year has been encouraging and our
financial performance is in line with our expectations. As a result, we expect
profit before tax and earnings per share in the first six months of the year to
be significantly ahead of the corresponding period last year.

Cash flow was strong during the three month period and Tribal's net debt at 31
March 2008 was £2.4m.

We have enjoyed a good level of contract wins since the start of the year and
our order book and pipeline remain healthy. We are shortlisted on a number of
significant healthcare design projects. We have also recently gained new
contracts worth over £5m from the Learning and Skills Council to help people
improve their skills and secure employment. Demand for our services has been
good in all of our markets.

We continue to strengthen the senior management team across the Group and we are
pleased to announce the appointment of Andy Field as Chief Operating Officer.
Andy joins Tribal from Fujitsu where he was responsible for leading their civil
government business.

We continue to review a number of acquisition opportunities that would
strengthen and complement our existing capabilities and that meet our financial
criteria.'
