Total Voting Rights

In conformity with the Transparency Directive's transitional provision 6 the
Board of Mears Group plc ('the Company')  notifies the following:

As at the date of this announcement, the Company's issued share capital consists
of 72,584,051 ordinary shares with a  nominal value of 1p each, with voting
rights ('Ordinary Shares'). The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in 
Treasury.

Therefore the total number of Ordinary Shares in the Company with voting rights
is 72,584,051.

The increase in the number of shares (121,052 shares) relates to the exercise of
share options under Mears' employee  share option schemes and valid acceptances
by Careforce Shareholders electing for new Mears Shares pursuant to the  Offer
for Careforce announced on 5 March 2007.

The above figure of 72,584,051 Ordinary Shares may be used by shareholders in
the Company as the denominator for the  calculations by which they will
determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their
interest in, the share capital of the Company under the Financial Service
Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
