TRADING UPDATE AND NOTICE OF RESULTS

Trading in line with expectations with positive outlook

PTSG, the niche specialist services provider, is pleased to announce the following trading update ahead of its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2016, which will be issued on Tuesday, 27 September 2016:

The Group has previously announced that it was performing well in H1, delivering record results, substantial organic growth and securing a number of new notable contract wins. This strong performance has continued and the political events of recent weeks do not appear to have had any adverse effect on the Group's ability to secure contract wins. Two recent substantial contract wins, signed in the last two weeks by the Group's Access Installation division for a combined order value of GBP2.5m, have further strengthened an already healthy order book in this construction related area for 2017 and 2018 and the Group's testing and maintenance activities continue to see strong work and order levels.

The integration of the two UK Dry Riser businesses acquired early in July 2016 is progressing to plan and, although H2 has just started, the Group is trading in line with recently upgraded market expectations for the financial year ending 31 December 2016. The directors look forward to providing a full update on the Group's progress in the interim results announcement in September.
