Director dealings: Franchise Brands director acquires 225,000 shares
David Poutney, a non-executive director of international multi-brand franchisor Franchise Brands, purchased 225,000 ordinary shares in the company on Tuesday at an average cost of 75.50p each.
Poutney, a member of Franchise Brand's board since July 2016, spent £169,875 on the transaction that, as a result, put him in control of a total of 2.97m ordinary shares, equivalent to 3.83% of the company's issued share capital.
Franchise Brands said group trading in the three months to 31 March was "marginally ahead of management's expectations", in particular, the number of jobs completed by its Metro Rod and Metro Plumb subsidiary grew 16% year-on-year to record levels, despite average order sizes dropping slightly as a result of the heavy rain and snow seen throughout the quarter.
As of 1630 BST, Franchise Brands shares had picked up 6.33% to 84p.
