                    Reliance Security Group plc ('Reliance')


                                 Trading update



The Directors of Reliance are pleased to provide an update, prior to the
commencement of the close period, on the Group's trading performance and
prospects.

The Directors expect that trading results for the year to 29 April 2005 will be
slightly ahead of market expectations.

Organic cash generation has continued to be strong in the second half of this
year and has been boosted by the net cash proceeds of approximately £7.3 million
arising on the disposal, in December, of the Group's investment in Safe Estates.
This disposal will give rise to an untaxed, exceptional profit of £4.3 million.

The termination of the electronic monitoring contract in England on 30 April
2005 and the disposal of the Group's interest in Safe Estates last December will
clearly impact on the Group's trading result next year. However, solid progress
continues to be made in securing new business opportunities and our forward
order book remains healthy. We are continuing to invest to drive future growth.

Reliance's results for the year to 29 April 2005 will be announced on 30 June
2005.


Note:

Reliance is an established market leader in the provision of contract security,
facilities management and support services and in business process outsourcing.
Reliance employs over 12,000 people from a network of offices throughout the UK.
