Carillion plc

Support services and construction company, Carillion plc, is providing this
update on trading in the six months ended 30 June 2005, in advance of its
interim results announcement on 7 September 2005.

Carillion has continued to build on the positive start to the year that it
reported in its AGM statement on 11 May 2005 and the Group's performance in the
first six months of 2005 is expected to be firmly in line with expectations.

Carillion continues to benefit from the good positions it has established in its
key markets. The value of its order book and framework contracts at the
half-year is expected to be over £5 billion and its pipeline of probable orders
has increased substantially to some £2.7 billion.

With trading conditions expected to remain positive in the second half of 2005,
