                                 AGM Statement

Michelmersh Brick Holdings plc ('Michelmersh' or the 'Company') (AIM: MBH) the
UK's largest producer of handmade specification bricks and clay paviors,
announces that at its Annual General Meeting held today, Tuesday 26 April 2005,
all resolutions put to the meeting were approved.

Speaking at the meeting, Eric Gadsden, Chairman of Michelmersh, made the
following statement:

'I am pleased to report that, following the announcement of our maiden full year
results in February 2005, when we reported a profit before tax to £1.3m, current
trading is in line with management expectations.

'The capital expenditure which has been put in place over the last year has
allowed Michelmersh to increase its production to 85 million bricks, tiles and
paviors per annum and I am therefore delighted to report that we are currently
operating at our budgeted levels.

'At all plants, deliveries are above levels achieved in the same period last
year and, although poor weather and a short month in March have held back demand
for paviours over the past few weeks, enquiry and order levels remain strong.
Apart from these products we are delivering at production capacity across the
Group.

'As highlighted at the time of our results, the high energy costs remain a
variable which has continued to put pressure upon our margins. We expect this to
continue in 2005, although we remain confident of prospects for the year as a
whole.

'We continue to progress the planning application for the initial 5.5 acre sale
of land for residential development.

'Following approval at the AGM, the Company's maiden dividend of 1.1 pence per
share will be paid to shareholders on Monday 16 May 2005, reflecting our
continued confidence in the Group's performance going forward.'
