AUDIT TENDER RESULT AND BOARD UPDATE

Following a competitive tender process led by the Audit Committee, Keller
Group plc (“Keller”) announces its intention to propose the appointment of
Ernst & Young LLP as its external auditor for the financial year 31 December
2019.  A resolution to approve the appointment will be put to shareholders at
the Annual General Meeting in May 2019.

As disclosed in the Group 2017 Annual Report and Accounts, Keller planned to
appoint a new auditor.  KPMG LLP will remain in the role as auditor until the
conclusion of the audit for the financial year ended 31 December 2018, and
will assist with an orderly transition.

Keller Group plc also announces Chris Girling will retire from the Board and
as Audit Committee Chairman on 1 January 2019, and as previously communicated,
will be succeeded by Paula Bell.

Peter Hill, Chairman of Keller, said:

Chris joined the Keller Board as an Independent Non-executive Director and
Chairman of the Audit Committee in 2011.  In his almost eight years on the
Board he has made an enormous contribution, and we have all benefited from his
wide business and contracting experience, judgement and sage advice. On behalf
of the Board I would like to thank Chris for his years of service and to wish
him well for the future.
