Significant events
- “In June 2024, the Board declared a second interim dividend of 7.5p per share in relation to last year end (2023: 10p), and then in October 2024 declared a final dividend of 10p for last year, along with a special dividend of 10p, which with the initial Interim for the current year of 7p in total these dividends consumed £2.5m (net of £61k waived by the ESOT) of Group cash reserves (vs total dividends paid in 2023: £2.6m).”
- “There has been two Interim dividends for FY25 (total 17.5p), which along with a proposed final dividend of 30p (10p ordinary and 20p special), means a total dividend of 47.5p declared for the current year - (FY24: 37.5p)”
- “Due to the effort and administration associated with the Company buying shares in previous years, the Board have no current plans for a further share buyback exercise. However, the Board may seek trustee permission from the Group's Employee Share Ownership Trust (ESOT) as to whether it would be willing to purchase shares in the future at a price similar to the last Buyback.”
