AGM and IMS

Wilmington Group Plc 08 November 2007 8 November 2007 WILMINGTON GROUP PLC AGM AND FIRST QUARTER INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT At today's Annual General Meeting of Wilmington Group plc, David Summers, Chairman, will make the following statement regarding the financial position and current trading performance: 'On 14 August 2007 we completed the disposal of our businesses serving the Design and Construction, Catering and other specialist markets, for a cash consideration of £12m. This is the fifth disposal in recent years and concludes the refocusing of the Group's activities to focus on key professional business markets. This latest disposal is expected to result in a modest pre tax gain and the proceeds have enabled the Group to eliminate its net debt. As indicated in my statement in the Report and Accounts the Board is encouraged by the continued improvement in the underlying quality of the Group's earnings. Trading at the beginning of the current financial year has begun in line with our expectations and we remain confident of a satisfactory outcome for the year.' - Ends - Enquiries: Wilmington Group PLC Charles Brady, Chief Executive 0207 422 6800 Weber Shandwick Financial Nick Oborne/Georgia Dempsey/Charlie Hooper 0207 067 0700 Numis Securities James Serjeant 0207 260 1309 Hoare Govett Ltd Sara Hale 0207 678 8000 Notes to Editors Wilmington Group plc is one of the UK's leading providers of information and training for professional business markets.
