AIM: JSG

Johnson Service Group PLC

('JSG' or 'the Group')

Pre-close Trading Update

JSG, a leading UK textile rental provider, is pleased to provide a trading update for the six months to 30 June 2018.

Following the update in early May trading has continued to be strong and we now expect results for the full financial year to be slightly ahead of current market expectations.

Results are benefiting from both the acquisitions made in the second half of 2017 and from an encouraging underlying performance.

Planned capital investment across the business is continuing, thereby increasing our processing capacity and productivity levels.

Results for the half year are expected to be published in early September.
