AGM Trading Update

Speaking at Carillion plc's Annual General Meeting today, Chairman, Philip Rogerson, said, "In 2007, we have continued to build on our strong performance of 2006. The benefits of the Mowlem acquisition remain ahead of our original expectations and in line with those set out in our Preliminary Results announcement on 7 March 2007. We have a more resilient business with an enhanced ability to accelerate growth and, with cost savings expected to be running at £26 million per annum by the year end, and positive trading conditions in our key markets, the Group remains on track to deliver materially enhanced earnings in 2007, in line with the Board's expectations."
