Ben Bailey plc ("the Company")


AGM Statement


At today's Annual General Meeting of the Company, Richard Bailey, Chairman,
said:


"In my Chairman's statement, in the 2002 Annual Report, I reported that we had
entered this current financial year with forward reservations at a highly
satisfactory level.  Since the year-end I can confirm that forward reservations
have continued at this very satisfactory level with no downward pressure on
selling prices.  The Board remains confident that its expectations for this
current year will be achieved.


Further progress has been made in 2003 in respect of our land holdings.  At the
end of April our land holdings totalled 1062 plots with a further 475 plots
under contract awaiting legal completion."
