Pre-Close Trading Update

Northbridge Industrial Services Plc.

("Northbridge" or the "Group")

Pre-Close trading update

Northbridge, the industrial services and rental company today issues the following pre-close trading statement in advance of its interim results for the six months ending 30 June 2014 which will be announced on 25 September 2014.

As indicated on 29 May at the time of our AGM, Northbridge has achieved a good start to 2014 in both its sales and rental activities. The ongoing investment in our global hire fleet has resulted in good rental revenue and strong cash flow and will enable net gearing to reduce by the end of 2014. A high level of sales orders for manufactured units provide good visibility for the second half of 2014 and with the two acquisitions completed last year now fully integrated and performing as expected we remain confident in the Group's prospects and committed to our stated strategy.

We expect results for 2014 as a whole to be in line with management's expectations.
