Hargreaves Services PLC
PRE-CLOSE STATEMENT
We are pleased to report that trading for the half-year to 30th November 2006 is
expected to be at least in line with market expectations.
Following the acquisition of Norec, and the award of a number of major
additional contracts, it is anticipated that results for the second half of the
year will be significantly ahead of the comparative period last year.
The Group continues to achieve excellent organic growth, and is trading in
markets where demand is strong, particularly in respect of coal supply to
generators. Acquisitions in this and other related sectors are also actively
being pursued.
