                                 AGM Statement

Michelmersh Brick Holdings plc ('Michelmersh' or 'the Group') (AIM: MBH) the
UK's largest producer of handmade specification bricks and clay paviors,
announces that at its Annual General Meeting to be held later today, Thursday, 3
May 2007, Eric Gadsden, chairman of Michelmersh, will make the following
statement:

'I am pleased to report that we are continuing to make excellent progress this
year. We see a marked improvement in the high quality end of the market and are
experiencing strong demand for our products across all the Group companies. This
has translated into sales for the first four months of the year being 17% ahead
of last year's figures for the same period.

Additionally, energy costs have stabilised at significantly lower levels than
last year and we are also now benefiting from the production efficiencies that
have been gained as a result of the recently completed capital investment
programme we made in our plant. We continue to run our plants at full output and
sales are now starting to match these production levels.

Progress on the planning application for residential development of 60 acres of
land at Telford in partnership with Persimmon Homes continues. We anticipate
this will be submitted in the near future and that, as detailed at the time of
our 2006 results, will result in the Group receiving significant cash income
from the project in 2008 and 2009.

In early April the Competition Commission provisionally cleared the proposed
acquisition of Baggeridge Brick by Wienerberger. We subsequently acquired a
17.4% interest in Baggeridge Brick and are currently considering our options in
this regard.

Following approval at the AGM, the Company's maintained dividend of 1.1 pence
per share will be paid to shareholders on the register as at 5 October 2007, on
31 October, reflecting our continued confidence in the Group's performance going
forward.'
