Trading update

Wednesday 10th January 2007


The Board is pleased to announce that the trading results for the year ended

31 December 2006 will be at the upper end of market expectations. Since our
interim announcement in August 2006 we have secured a number of significant
contract awards with a total value in excess of £100m. These contracts include
Brighton & Hove City Council and Bedfordshire Pilgrims HA.

The order book remains at over £1 Billion and the Group continues to enjoy a
healthy pipeline of both outstanding tenders and future opportunities. 94% of
the market consensus turnover for 2007 has already been contracted to the Group
and some 84% of the 2008 projection is secured.

Cash collection has remained strong and combined with a sound balance sheet this
provides a very stable platform for predictable future growth. We continue to
seek quality businesses with the potential to help us further our strategic
objectives and improve or broaden our services.

The Directors remain confident in the future prospects for the Group.
