Director dealings: Vivo Energy director lowers stake

Vivo Energy revealed on Wednesday that non-executive director Temitope Lawani had disposed of 450,000 ordinary shares in the FTSE 250-listed downstream specialist.

Lawani, who was appointed to Vivo's board in March 2018, sold the shares on Tuesday at an average price of 100.0p each, for a total value of £450,000.

In late April, Vivo said it had made a strong start to the year, with first-quarter volumes continuing to recover from the “significant” impact of Covid-19.

Vivo stated gross cash profit was $195.0m in the three months to 31 March, a 9% increase on the same period a year previously, with retail volumes improving 4% and commercial volumes continuing to be impacted by weakness in the aviation and marine businesses along with the end of a large supply contract in the third quarter of 2020.

As of 1630 BST, Vivo shares were down 0.45% at 102.0p.
