                               Trading Statement



Prior to entering its close period before publication of the results for the six
months ended 30 September 2007, the Board of Chloride Group PLC ("Chloride" or "
the Company") provides the following update:


The Board is pleased with performance in the first half with sales and orders
ahead of management expectations and significantly ahead of last year.  The
sustained momentum in data centres and IT services, and in the energy, and oil
and gas sectors continues to drive organic sales growth.  Order levels have been
strong throughout the period, with order intake well ahead of sales.  As a
result the order book has again increased, with significant new orders from blue
chip customers in India, Germany, the UK and the Middle East.


Regarding the recently acquired businesses:  Masterpower is providing the
platform for expanding our industrial systems sales in the UK; Ascor, Singapore,
has quickly strengthened our presence in SE Asia and Cener is now integrated
with Chloride Spain, to form a single business serving the dynamic Spanish
market.


The Company will be announcing its interim results on 29 October 2007.


Commenting on the trading update, Chief Executive Keith Hodgkinson said: "Our
strategy to accelerate growth while investing in the breadth and quality of our
solutions capabilities has again resulted in improved performance.  We enter the
second half year with a strong order book, and many good prospects in projects
where our secure power solutions give us competitive advantage. We are therefore
confident that we will achieve further strong progress in this financial year."
