Director dealings: Hargreaves director ups stake

Hargreaves Services revealed on Wednesday that non-executive director Chris Jones had acquired 24,073 ordinary shares in the AIM-listed services group.

Jones, who joined Hargreaves' board in April 2020, purchased the shares at an average price of 270.0p each, for a total value of £64,997.10.

Earlier in the day, Hargreaves said that as expected, revenue and underlying profit before tax in its first half were both lower year-on-year, primarily due to the phasing of works on the HS2 project within its specialist earthworks business.

As of 1655 GMT, Hargreaves shares were up 0.75% at 270.0p.
