Rok property solutions plc
Chairman's AGM Statement

Bob Carlton-Porter, Chairman, will today make the following statement at the
Company's Annual General Meeting at 1200hrs today:

"I am pleased to report that the strong progress and record forward order books
reported in our annual results statement continue to exceed #250m.  Today our
business is more than four times the size it was in 2000 and continues to
deliver against our core objectives of being the best construction stock, the
best employer and the best in regional markets.

"Rok's management team has demonstrated its strength and ability to deliver on
expectations, in particular the swift and highly successful acquisition,
restructuring and integration of the Llewellyn business.  Our intention is to
continue to develop and build on the depth of our team over the coming year in
preparation for the next stage in our significant growth plans.

"This year, our primary focus will be to extract value and maximise the full
potential of our acquisition of Llewellyn and drive the development from
Rokforce, our nationwide facilities management business to enable us to achieve
our three-year goal of taking 1% of a market place we believe is currently worth
#5bn per annum.

"Rokeagle, our property development team, has no exposure to the M25 property
market and continues to benefit from its strength in the regions in which it
operates.  Next month Rokeagle will be opening an office in Bristol, bringing
their total to four, in order to expand their development activities in that
area.

"Our construction forward order books for 2004/5 are at record levels and, in
particular, continue to prosper from an increased demand for publicly funded
construction.  This includes a recent #13m order from the MoD for housing in
Middle Wallop, Hampshire - an extension to the #19m project we are already
undertaking.  We are also benefiting from Llewellyn's expertise in social
housing where forward orders currently total #53m.

"We are delighted with the progress the Group is making and share the high
levels of optimism and enthusiasm expressed recently in a Group-wide survey of
all employees about the future of Rok."
