Wincanton announces that PGN Logistics ('PGN') , a joint venture company in
which Wincanton has a 50% interest , has been in discussions with its principal
customer about the possible termination of its contract with PGN and the
recovery of amounts receivable from the customer. It is now expected that these
matters will be resolved through arbitration.



In the year to 31 March 2004, PGN contributed approximately £1.8m to Wincanton's
adjusted earnings, after taxation and a minority interest charge.



Wincanton does not expect there to be any material impact on adjusted pre-tax
profit and earnings in the year to 31 March 2005.
