Young & Co's retail director sells more than just a few pints
Tue, 6th Dec 2011 15:57
Patrick Dardis, the retail director at Young & Co's Brewery, can afford to buy more than a round of drinks after selling £29,995-worth of shares.
Dardis, who joined the AIM-50 listed firm in 2002, sold off 4,411 shares at 680.00p each, less than two weeks after Young & Co.'s said it has made a very positive start to the second half of the financial year.
The company reported that revenue was up 34% at £90.5m during the six months to October, with adjusted profit before tax up 11% to £12.5m.
Peel Hunt responded to the interim results by upgrading its full-year profit before tax forecast by 2% to £21.0m, and its earnings per share estimate by 1% to 31.5p.
The director has overall responsibility for the operation of the Young's managed estate as well as Young's managed house pub acquisitions and developments.
