NATIONWIDE ACCIDENT REPAIR SERVICES PLC

("Nationwide" or "the Company")

AGM Statement

Nationwide, the largest dedicated provider of automotive crash repair services in the UK, will be holding its Annual General Meeting today and will make the following comments on current trading.

Trading since the beginning of the current financial year to date has been encouraging. The Company was pleased to report on 30 April that it had secured a major multi-year new contract with a leading insurance group and on 18 May to announce the acquisition of a bodyshop in Newcastle-upon-Tyne where Nationwide is increasing both its insurance and fleet & retail repair business.

The current financial year sees an ongoing increase, of around £1m, in the Company's average annual business development expenditure. This is to support the expansion of Nationwide's mobile repair capability, which will help to drive the Board's wider plans to increase the Company's presence in the fleet and retail marketplaces as well as to continue to build Nationwide's insurance customer business. The formal launch of Nationwide's rebranded and expanded mobile repair services takes place in late summer.

The Board is pleased with Nationwide's progress in the current financial year and views the Company's prospects with confidence. Nationwide remains well positioned to execute its growth plans, backed by strong cash flow and a robust balance sheet with nil borrowings and substantial net cash position.
