                 MIITE Group PLC - Pre-Close Trading Statement

29 March 2007


MITIE Group PLC ('MITIE' or 'the Group') will enter a close period on 1 April
2007.

MITIE is pleased to confirm that it has performed well in the second half of
this financial year and has continued to trade in line with management's
expectations. Market conditions remain favourable.

Progress in Security

The integration of all of our security businesses, including that of last year's
major acquisition, Initial Security Limited, has been successfully completed and
MITIE will achieve the expected pre-tax synergy benefits of £3m per annum.
MITIE Security is now a leading national business which is ranked second in the
manned guarding market.  It complements the Group's other activities, providing
important opportunities for MITIE to deliver bundled services.

In January, MITIE Security extended its long established relationship with Her
Majesty's Courts Service ('HMCS') by securing all seven of the regional
contracts tendered. The contracts are for an initial term of four years with the
option of a two-year extension. MITIE Security's work with HMCS has grown from a
regional contract with a value of £8 million per annum to a portfolio of
contracts which are now worth in excess of £22 million per annum.

Board changes

As announced on 31 January 2007, Ruby McGregor-Smith, the Group's Chief
Operating Officer, has been appointed Chief Executive of the Group with effect
from 30 March 2007, succeeding Ian Stewart who will assume the role of Non
Executive Deputy Chairman.

The Group will announce its results for the year ending 31 March 2007, on Monday
21 May 2007.
