Fenner PLC Share News (FENR)

(ShareCast News) - New Fenner director Michael Ducey has joined with his new board colleagues in putting his money behind the plastics group, with a £84,000 purchase of shares.Ducey, whose appointment last week was at the request of major shareholder Teleios Capital even though it was initially resisted by newly appointed chairman Vanda Murray, acquired 28,300 shares in the company at a price of 296p apiece.Last week Murray bought 17,000 and fellow non-executive directors Chris Surch and Gearing Anderson bought 6,828 and 1,700 respectively at a similar price.On 6 January the engineer said it expected results for the current financial year to be "comfortably above" previous expectations amid stronger order intake and improved customer enquiries."Whilst market conditions remain similar to those reflected in our November statement, we are performing well and gaining traction from market share gains and from our refocusing of the businesses," the company said.
