Pre Close Trading Update  

Driver Group, the global construction consultancy, is pleased to report a further update on trading ahead of the announcement of its results for the six months ended 31 March 2013.

The Company's Middle East business continues to trade ahead of management's expectations with very good forward order books.  In addition the European and African operations have delivered strong trading in the six months to 31 March 2013.

The Company continues with its planned investment in the Americas and Asia Pacific and expect to see benefits coming through in the final quarter.

As a result of the continued strength in trading and levels of secured workload the Board believes the Company will exceed management expectations for the current financial year.

The Company looks forward to providing further information at the time of the announcement of its interim results for the six months ended 31 March 2013 which is expected to be towards the end of May.
