Tasty Share News (TAST)

Lord Harris of Peckham, the Executive Chairman of Carpetright, this week reduced his stake in the flooring specialist with the sale of 416,500 shares. The sale was made through his company Harris Ventures, which is also connected with Martin Harris, Carpetright's Group Development Director. Harris Ventures disposed of the shares at 649.06p each, for a total trade value of £2.7m. Lord Harris, who explained that the sale is for personal wealth management reasons, now owns 11.92m shares, equal to a 17.64% stake in the company. The director, who has been with the retailer for 56 years, only became Executive Chairman at the start of this month, and previously held the role of Chief Executive before stepping down in May last year. The sale was made just two weeks after the company revealed its full-year profit would be "significantly" below its previous expectations, hit by volatile UK trading, a decline in sales, and extremely difficult economic conditions in the Netherlands.
