                 MITIE Group PLC - Pre-close trading statement

MITIE Group PLC ('MITIE' or the 'Group') will enter a close period on 1 October
2006.

MITIE is pleased to confirm that its businesses have continued to perform in
line with management expectations throughout the first half of its financial
year, with the Group experiencing good levels of organic growth.

The integration of the recent security acquisition, UK manned guarding company,
Initial Security Limited, is progressing well and the strategic benefits of this
acquisition are now being realised. MITIE remains on target to achieve the
anticipated operational and financial benefits of this acquisition. This has
created a leading national security business, which complements the Group's
other activities and provides further bundling opportunities.

The Group will announce its interim results, for the half year ending 30
September 2006, on Monday 27 November 2006.
