Howden Joinery Group PLC - London-based kitchen and joinery supplier - Intends to pay a final dividend of 15.0 pence per share for 2022, down from 15.2p a year prior. This brings its total dividend for 2022 to 20.6 pence per share, up 5.6% from 19.5p a year prior.

Johnson Service Group PLC - Cheshire, England-based textile services firm - Says revenue in the first four months of 2023 amounts to about GBP135 million, up 22% year-on-year.

This additional thirty six month contract of about GBP300,000 takes the full contract value to over GBP500,000 over a three year term.
