Director dealings: Michelmersh director makes share purchase

Michelmersh revealed on Monday that non-executive director Anthony Morris had acquired 22,658 ordinary shares in the xxx listed brick manufacturer.

Morris, who was nominated to MBH's board just last week, purchased the shares on Friday at an average price of 111.70p each, for a total value of £25,308.99.

Also on Friday, Michelmersh said its trading performance since June had been "resilient", with current capacity back in line with pre-Covid levels and turnover ahead 7% year-on-year.

Michelmersh now expects underlying revenue and profits for the year ending 31 December will exceed market expectations and, as a result, has decided to repay the £500,000 it received under Downing Street's Covid-19 job retention scheme.

As of 1630 GMT, Michelmersh shares were up 0.90% at 112.0p.
