AGM Statement

Northbridge Industrial Services plc, the industrial services and rental company will today hold its AGM at 12 noon at the offices of Buchanan, 107 Cheapside, London EC2V 6DN. Peter Harris, the Chairman of Northbridge will make the following statement on the Group's current trading and outlook.

As indicated at the time of our Preliminary results in April, the first quarter of 2013 started well with a number of large contracts continuing from last year. We have continued to invest in our hire fleets and with rental revenue and the resulting cash flow remaining strong, we expect net gearing to reduce by the end of June 2013. We are pleased with the Group's progress so far in 2013 and with good levels of continuing rental demand and product sales orders, we continue to be confident in the Group's prospects and expect results for 2013 as a whole to be in line with market expectations.
