LONDON (Alliance News) - Persimmon PLC Wednesday said Non-Executive Director Rachel Kentleton purchased 1,203 shares, jointly with her husband Neil Thompson, at GBP20.7731 per share Tuesday.
The purchase is Kentleton's only holding in the company. She is also strategy director at low-cost airline easyJet PLC.
The housebuilder said Tuesday that its pretax profit surged in the first half as it boosted margins, sold more homes and did so at higher prices, all while saying that its performance thus far in the traditionally slower summer selling season still looks robust.
The stock was trading up 2.1% at 2,127.00 pence Wednesday.
