               AGM AND FIRST QUARTER INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

At today's Annual General Meeting of Wilmington Group plc, David Summers,
Chairman, will make the following statement regarding the financial position and
current trading performance:

'On 14 August 2007 we completed the disposal of our businesses serving the
Design and Construction, Catering and other specialist markets, for a cash
consideration of £12m. This is the fifth disposal in recent years and concludes
the refocusing of the Group's activities to focus on key professional business
markets. This latest disposal is expected to result in a modest pre tax gain and
the proceeds have enabled the Group to eliminate its net debt.

As indicated in my statement in the Report and Accounts the Board is encouraged
by the continued improvement in the underlying quality of the Group's earnings.
Trading at the beginning of the current financial year has begun in line with
our expectations and we remain confident of a satisfactory outcome for the
year.'
