BUNZL ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
As part of a presentation to shareholders at today's Annual General Meeting,
Anthony Habgood, Chairman of Bunzl plc, the international Group supplying
business to business consumables, made the following comments on trading
outlook.
'I am pleased to say that the encouraging start to 2000 on which I commented
in our preliminary announcement in late February has continued. We have
benefited from good organic growth driven by our expertise in providing
outsourcing solutions and enhanced customer service to both existing and new
customers around the world. Underlying volume growth is being augmented by
rising prices in our major markets. Our increasing focus on providing
business to business consumables, often on a total outsourcing basis, and our
ability to continue to enhance that growth through acquisition activity give
us great confidence in the future.'
