AGM Statement

At the Annual General Meeting of Personal Group, to be held today at 10:00am
at John Ormond House, 899 Silbury Boulevard, Milton Keynes, MK9 3XL, Martin
Bennett, Chairman of the Company, will make the following statement:

"Having entered 2023 on the front foot, I am pleased to report on a positive
start to trading. The strong performance in insurance sales seen in the last
quarter of 2022 has continued into the first quarter of 2023 and we remain on
track to meet full-year expectations.

"Amidst an uncertain wider environment, the need for organisations to look
after their people has never been more important. Whilst we have planned for
2023 to be another difficult year for the economy, we are confident our offer
resonates with our target markets, and we will continue to see growth over the
forthcoming years.

"We continue to be laser focused on our strategic objectives. The investments
we have made in sales, marketing and technology continue to bear fruit,
through the number of new clients we are engaging with and delivering for. We
look forward to making further progress in the coming months, bolstered by a
growing insurance order book, the imminent launch of the next generation of
our Hapi platform and an expanded Pay and Reward offering.

"We have announced this morning that following eight years with the Group,
Group Chief Executive Deborah Frost will be retiring from her position and the
Board at the end of the year. Deborah has led the expansion of the business
and leaves the Group on a strong footing and we wish her all the very best
with her portfolio career. We are delighted to welcome Paula Constant as our
incoming Group Chief Executive Designate, confident that we have found in her
an equally talented and committed leader to take Personal Group on to its next
stage of growth."
