                                Volex Group plc
                         (the 'Group' or the 'Company')

                               Post-close Update

Volex Group plc, the global electrical and electronic cable assemblies group,
will announce its results for the 52 weeks ending 1 April 2007 on 11 June 2007.
Also, in response to shareholders' request for more proactive investor
communications, the Company will issue a post-close update annually as well as a
trading update for the first half performance.

'I am pleased with the progress of the Company since the announcement of the
interim results in November 2006. I expect the business to show revenue growth
compared to FY 2005/6 before exchange rate movements, though, the weak USD is
expected to reduce this level of year on year growth.

The high price of copper has continued to impact margins in the Powercords
business, though lower copper prices in the latter part of the year have been
and continue to be beneficial. The combined impact of copper and the USD means
that the Group expects the FY2006/7 results to be slightly below analysts'
expectations.

I am confident that the Group's comprehensive restructuring programme is ahead
of plan. The benefits from the cost reductions will be further realized in the
coming year as the productivity and efficiency increases in the new facilities
and the full year impact is reflected in the results. I believe that the Group
is on track in the execution of its strategy to deliver growth through new
technologies and products.

The Group is positive on the outlook for the next financial year for each of the
businesses. Powercords continues to grow strongly driven by new and innovative
applications such as Apple iPhone. Interconnect is leveraging its global
position to gain market share and further expand into higher margin products. In
particular, the Company is excited about Interconnect's growth in India driven
by the investment in wireless infrastructure. Wiring Harness looks encouraging
due to the strong growth prospects of the UK Defence Market and the recently
secured long-term contract with Rolls-Royce.

I anticipate that the Group will continue to make progress over the coming year
and I believe that the performance in the next financial year will be in line
with Management's expectations.'
