Director dealings: RPC director ups stake

Kevin Thompson, non-executive director of plastics engineering group RPC, picked up 10,000 ordinary shares in the group on Wednesday, just one week after the FTSE 250-listed company announced a 31% boost to revenues in its third trading quarter.

Thompson, who was added to RPC's board back in September 2017, upped his stake at a cost of 799p per share – a total of £79,900.

RPC Group reported a surge in third-quarter sales and said it was working with governments to reduce plastic waste.

Revenues for the three months to 31 December rose 31% year-on-year to £898m, boosted by acquisitions and organic growth. Profits both before and after exceptional items were in line with management expectations and had grown “significantly”, with the organic growth rate at the end of the quarter at 2.6%.

As of 1620 GMT, shares had lost 0.20% to 800.00p.
